Already proven successful in human medicine, SRS delivers high doses of radiation with sub-millimeter precision in a noninvasive, nonsurgical manner. In addition to treating the patient with the intent to cure, SRS requires only 1 to 5 treatment sessions as opposed to 15 to 30 with conventional radiation therapy, while minimizing both the risk and the side effects commonly associated with conventional treatment. Pets with prostate cancer usually survive just weeks to months once they have been diagnosed. For afflicted pets and their families, this new treatment may provide an option that will improve outcomes.
