The main direction of the medical center is the treatment of brain tumors. Thanks to Lеkѕеll Gаmmа Knіfе Perfexion of the Swedish company Elekta, oncologists have the opportunity to specifically affect the tumor with an accuracy of 0.15 mm through special collimators. Treatment of tumors is possible even in cases of the deep location of the impression. Due to the absence of incisions, the need for general anesthesia disappears. Local anesthesia in the places where the frame is attached is performed by qualified anesthesiologists who accompany the person during the entire treatment. The course of treatment consists of 1 procedure and, thanks to the robotic system, has minimal complications. The device's work concentrates on the place of impression and the scattered rays upon entering the human body. This approach makes it possible to obtain a minimal impression of the surrounding tissues and to concentrate the high intensity of the impression precisely in malignant tumors. A clear separation of healthy and affected tissues allows for preserving functions, which is especially important for the brain.
