Who is a good candidate for this procedure?
Ideal candidates include patients with localized solid tumors, such as prostate, lung, or head and neck cancers, where precise targeting can spare critical structures. It is particularly beneficial for tumors near sensitive organs, like the prostate or central nervous system. Contraindications may include metastatic disease, prior extensive radiation in the same area, or inability to remain still during treatment; a thorough evaluation at SPHIC determines suitability.
