  schema:description "A single high dose of radiation delivered to a brain tumour or metastasis by beams converging from all sides, so the target gets a destructive dose while the surrounding brain gets little; no scalpel is involved despite the name. It treats metastases up to about 3-4 cm and has replaced whole-brain radiotherapy for limited disease because it spares cognition."@en ;
