Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Body Treatment at the Baptist Cancer Institute

The Baptist Cancer Institute is proud to offer the Pensacola community access to a new, innovative cancer and neurological treatment option. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a noninvasive procedure that can treat difficult cancers and neurological dysfunctions. This new type of treatment delivers a highly concentrated, tightly focused dose of cancer-killing radiation directly to the tumor. Patient Benefits: • Enables treatment of brain tumors with an accuracy of less than 0.5 mm margin of error, allowing patients to receive the best treatment and care without leaving the community.

• Precision beam treatment allows for higher doses of radiation per treatment, possibly reducing the number of treatments, while at the same time preserving healthy tissue.	• Reduction in pain for people suffering from acoustic neuromas, trigeminal neuralgias and other functional neurological disorders.
• Treatment strategy can be more effective at killing or controlling certain types of cancer, making cancer a more manageable disease.	For more information, call Baptist Health Care at 434-4080.
