What is Frameless Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS)?
Early and precise treatment of brain and spine tumours is critical -
Frameless SRS/SBRT delivers high-dose radiation with sub-millimetre accuracy, achieving surgery-like outcomes without invasive risks.

Helen Saada Ching’s Journey: Strength Beyond Diagnosis
Despite facing over 20 brain metastases, Helen stood tall — assembling her own “A Team” of experts and taking charge of her treatment with courage and clarity.
Frameless Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) is a non-invasive treatment for brain and spine tumours that uses multiple precisely focused radiation beams to target the tumour with sub-millimetre accuracy, destroying cancer cells while protecting healthy tissue. Modern image-guidance replaces the old metal head frame with a comfortable custom mask, and most patients resume normal activities quickly with minimal disruption.

Planning (Part 1)
A same-day or next-day CT simulation is arranged for all patients. The radiation therapists use CT imaging to map the exact shape, size and position of the tumour. A custom thermoplastic mask is created to ensure accurate positioning throughout treatment.

Planning (Part 2)
Your specialist oncologist interprets the imaging and defines the precise treatment area, ensuring only the tumour is targeted. Equal care is taken to outline nearby organs at risk so radiation fields avoid sensitive structures.

Precision Targeting
Patients lie comfortably on the treatment couch while multiple radiation beams are delivered from different angles, converging precisely on the tumour. Throughout treatment, the care team continuously monitors positioning to maintain sub-millimetre accuracy.

Aftercare
Because SRS is non-invasive, there are no incisions, stitches or hospital stays. Most patients return home the same day. Your doctor will review your progress, schedule follow-up imaging and provide ongoing support to ensure the best outcome.

Frame Based Radiosurgery vs Frameless Radiosurgery
Frame Based Radiosurgery vs Frameless Radiosurgery
Frameless radiosurgery offers the same sub-millimetre precision as frame-based systems like Gamma Knife, but without the discomfort of metal head frames. Using advanced image-guided tracking and a custom mask, it provides a safe, non-invasive, and comfortable treatment experience with equally effective outcomes.
