The difference between stereotactic body radition therapy and stereotactic radio-surgery is primarily based on the area in which the treatment is being performed. SRS was developed by neurosurgeons so it refers to brain and spine tumors that neurosurgeons would be involved in managing. SBRT is done in different parts of the body like the lungs or pelvis. SLUCare Radiation Oncologist Dr. Jeevin Shahi explains. More information online at www.slucare.edu
