While SRS is generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience side effects. These can include:
Fatigue: Patients may feel tired for a few days following the procedure. Swelling: There may be temporary swelling at the treatment site, which can cause symptoms such as headache or nausea. Radiation Necrosis: In rare cases, high doses of radiation can cause the death of healthy brain tissue, leading to neurological deficits. Hair Loss: Temporary hair loss may occur in the treated area.
It is important to discuss potential side effects with your healthcare provider before undergoing SRS.
