Myth: Stereotactic radiosurgery is a surgical procedure
Fact: Stereotactic radiosurgery is not a surgery. It is a treatment that delivers high-dose radiation to a very precise area on the body. Stereotactic radiosurgery does not involve any incision nor does it require general anesthesia.
Myth: Stereotactic radiosurgery is only used to treat brain cancer.
Fact: No, stereotactic radiosurgery is used to treat different conditions in the neck, brain, lungs, spine, and other parts of the body, including cancer, epilepsy, arteriovenous malformation, and trigeminal neuralgia.
Myth: I will get cancer if I am exposed to radiation.
Fact: Radiation can cause secondary cancer that may affect after a long time of treatment. But this type of case is very rare, and this risk is outweighed after knowing the benefits of the procedure.
Myth: While undergoing stereotactic radiosurgery for a brain tumour, I will lose all my hair, similar to chemotherapy.
Fact: Unlike chemotherapy, hair loss with stereotactic radiosurgery is rare, and the procedure does not alter the whole scalp. The doctor may also inform if some areas on the scalp are at increased risk of losing hair. Further, there are several techniques, such as VMAT, IMRT, and HS-WBRT, that reduce the radiation dose and reduce the risk of hair loss.
