Stereotactic Radiosurgery System

Istanbul

Medically reviewed by Dr. Mahir Turan, MD · Last reviewed June 17, 2026

Stereotactic Radiosurgery System in Istanbul is available at 5 hospitals in the Voumed network.

A stereotactic radiosurgery system is a radiotherapy machine built to deliver a very precise, high dose of radiation to a small, sharply defined target in one to five sessions, without any incision. Despite the name, nothing is cut: the word refers to the surgical level of accuracy. Dedicated platforms focus many beams on one point, so the dose falls away steeply at the edge of the target and nearby healthy tissue is largely spared. It is used mainly for brain tumours, brain metastases, blood vessel malformations and selected nerve conditions, and some platforms also treat small tumours in the spine and body. Short, outpatient treatment suits a planned trip.
