Tumor treatment information

On the day of treatment

1. You will need to check in at admissions at the time instructed in the main lobby. Please allow time to get to Roswell Park Cancer Institute and park.

2. You will be taken to your room where you will meet your nurse.

3. After your nursing evaluation, you will be taken to the Gamma Knife Center where the head frame will be applied by Dr. Landi.

4. You will then have an imaging study of the brain (usually an MRI scan) with the head frame in place.

5. Your imaging study will be used by Dr. Landi and Dr. Shah to develop your treatment plan.

6. Your Gamma Knife treatment is painless and silent. It may take 15 minutes to over an hour depending on what is being treated. If you have a favorite CD that you would like to listen to during the treatment, bring it with you.

7. After the treatment is completed, the head frame will be removed and you will be returned to your room.

Your family should wait in the radiation oncology waiting area on the ground floor. They will be able to see you immediately after the procedure.

8. You will be discharged home shortly after you return to your room.
