Novalis Tx® Treatment San Diego Radiosurgery uses Novalis Tx to treat tumors with a nonsurgical process called stereotacMc radiosurgery. Typically treatment is completed within five sessions. PaMents can usually return to their normal rouMnes once treatment is complete. During treatment, high doses of radiaMon are delivered to tumors with pinpoint precision. A typical treatment session takes about 15 minutes and does not require surgery or sedaMon. Due to the extreme accuracy of radiaMon delivery, side effects, if any, are usually minor and temporary.
