Gurugram, June 13, 2024: In a groundbreaking development, Fortis Memorial Research Institute in Gurugram proudly unveils South Asia’s inaugural Gamma Knife Esprit, setting a new benchmark in advanced brain tumor treatment. This state-of-the-art technology promises non-surgical, painless, and highly precise treatment in a single session, revolutionizing therapeutic approaches for both malignant and benign brain tumors, along with other brain abnormalities.
The Gamma Knife Esprit represents a paradigm shift in the management of brain tumors, leveraging computer-guided precision to target tumors without invasive procedures. This approach is especially beneficial for treating a wide range of conditions, including multiple brain metastases, meningiomas, acoustic tumors, and pituitary adenomas.
