The Gamma Knife Center in Hannover is an innovative radiation therapy and radiology center specializing in the treatment of severe central nervous system pathologies without surgical intervention. In addition to malignant neoplasms, vascular aneurysms and malformations—including those of the brain—are treated here carefully and successfully.

The Gamma Knife is an ultra-modern device that enables resection of a cancerous tumor without craniotomy or other traumatic operations. Tumor destruction is based on the focused action of mechanically linked ionizing beams. The accuracy of beam convergence with tissues exceeds 0.3 millimeters. This guarantees complete preservation of healthy brain structures adjacent to the tumor. In addition to the absence of side effects, the procedure allows destruction of inoperable neoplasms—those located near critically important areas of the brain.

Benign or malignant tumors up to 3 cm in diameter are removed in 1–3 sessions. After the procedure, the patient does not require rehabilitation and can leave the clinic within 2–3 days. The clinic also offers 3D conformal radiation therapy, brachytherapy, intensity-modulated external beam radiotherapy, poly- and mono-chemotherapy with reduced-toxicity drugs, radiosurgical stimulation, and other procedures included in comprehensive anticancer treatment strategies.
