Successful Treatment of AV Malformation Using Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) at American Oncology Institute (AOI) in Mangalagiri, Vijayawada

Vijayawada, 26th March 2024 – American Oncology Institute (AOI) in Mangalagiri, Vijayawada successfully treated a 52-year-old male patient diagnosed with an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in the left frontal lobe of the brain. An AV malformation is a tangle of abnormal blood vessels. The patient underwent Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) using the cutting-edge Halcyon system, marking a significant milestone in advanced neuroncological  treatment options.

AV malformations in brain can pose serious health risks, including bleeding, seizures, and neurological deficits. Traditionally, treatment options for AV malformations have included surgery, embolization, or stereotactic radiosurgery. However, SRS represents a non-invasive alternative that delivers precise radiation therapy to the target area while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

The multidisciplinary team led by Radiation Oncologists at AOI, Vijayawada collaborated to develop a personalized treatment plan. Utilizing the advanced capabilities of the Halcyon system, the treatment was delivered in a single fraction, providing a highly targeted and efficient therapy session.

Dr S Mani Kumar, Radiation Oncologist, AOI Vijayawada, commented, "We are delighted to achieve successful outcomes using SRS for the treatment of AV malformations. This approach offers patients a less invasive treatment option with excellent precision and efficacy, ultimately improving their quality of life."

Following the completion of SRS treatment, the patient has been placed on a regular follow-up schedule to monitor treatment response and ensure optimal outcomes. Initial assessments indicate successful treatment of the AV malformation, with minimal side effects reported by the patient.
