General Info

The Gamma Knife Center at Harborview Medical Center offers patients a non-invasive or minimally invasive outpatient treatment option. This option is available for some patients with conditions that would typically require brain surgery or whole-brain radiation. Gamma Knife is used to treat blood vessel problems, such as arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and brain tumors, including acoustic neuromas, meningiomas, pituitary tumors, cancers that originate in the brain, and cancerous lesions that have metastasized from distant areas of the body. Consider consulting our experienced neurosurgeons to see if this is a viable treatment option.
