Thanks to a team of metro physicians and clinicians committed to their patients, some Oklahomans are receiving the best advice available. 

Since August of 2005,  specialists from hospitals across Oklahoma City have been meeting each week at Mercy to map out the best brain treatment for each patient's particular case.

The weekly Radiosurgery Case Presentation Conference evaluates and recommends the most appropriate radiosurgical treatment options for certain neurological disorders on a case-by-case basis.

Some of Oklahoma's best medical minds come together to decide the most effective form of treatment for their patients. Patients have the benefit of multiple physicians, multiple minds looking at the condition from different directions.

By definition, radiosurgery is a one-session surgical procedure directed by a neurosurgeon and a radiation oncologist. With radiosurgery, the radiation dose given in one session is usually less than the total dose that would be given in traditional radiation therapy.
