RC271.R3.R524.1 - Side Effects of Brain Irradiation
James Rubenstein, MD, PhD - Radiation treatment of brain metastasis can bea highly effective therapy which results in tumor shrinkage and symptom improvement. Radiotherapy to the brain is associated with three distinct phases of side effects: early, early-delayed, and late. Some patients may experience headache or confusion, even within minutes of the completion of radiation treatment. This type of reaction is quite rare and these acute side effects of irradiation usually resolve completely without treatment.

Jason Williams, MD -
Radiofrequency ablation is a relatively new therapy for cancer in which tumors are destroyed using heat energy. A needle is placed through the skin and into the tumor. A radiofrequency is sent through the needle which heats and destroys the tumor. This procedure is performed under conscious sedation and most patients can go home the same day.
