Stereotactic body radiation therapy is an advanced radiation technique that delivers a few high dose radiation treatments to multiple parts of the body for cancer treatment. SBRT condenses radiation courses down from multiple weeks down to 1-5 visits. SBRT is non-invasive and is much like receiving an x-ray. Generally this cancer treatment is well tolerated though there are some variables based on the area where the cancer is being treated. SLUCare radiation oncologist Dr. Jeevin Shahi discusess what stereotactic body radiation therapy is and everything you need to know about SBRT. More information online at www.slucare.edu
