Victoria’s first Gamma Knife, a state-wide service now installed at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, will improve outcomes and quality of life for some of the state’s most unwell cancer patients.
The Gamma Knife is the gold standard for radiosurgery (a form of radiotherapy), allowing Peter Mac’s experts to treat tiny tumours and other targets in the brain with extraordinary accuracy.
This is a major benefit for our patients – it’s a painless, extremely precise treatment that kills cancer cells and treats while avoiding damage to healthy brain tissue.
