The results of Gamma Knife surgery are generally very positive, especially for brain tumors and other conditions that are otherwise difficult to treat.
Immediate Results
Patients often experience immediate relief from symptoms such as pain, swelling, or neurological deficits following the procedure. The tumor may begin to shrink shortly after the treatment, with visible improvements seen on follow-up scans.
Long-Term Results
Gamma Knife surgery provides long-term results for many patients, with tumors shrinking over time and symptoms improving. In some cases, the treatment can be curative, while in others, it helps control tumor growth or manage symptoms, especially when combined with other treatments like chemotherapy or radiation.
