Gamma Knife Surgery

April 17, 2007 – 2:22 am

When I was in my last year of high school, a classmate of mine was diagnosed with brain tumor. It scared the hell out of us seeing the way she suffered. She underwent surgery the conventional way.

I suddenly thought of her today and her medical misfortune because I just read about a procedure called Gamma Knife Surgery which is the best option for brain tumor patients.

It was bad enough to be diagnosed with brain tumor but to undergo invasive neurosurgery is like a double whammy.

If Gamma Knife Surgery was available during those days, I believe my friend would have received a more accurate and effective treatment for her tumor.
