Doctors at Government Rajaji Hospital have successfully treated a youth who reported with a benign but inoperable brain tumour with pencil-precision radiation that has same efficacy as surgery and spares the normal tissues around from getting affected. The procedure - High Precision Stereotactic Radiotherapy (HPSR) - was performed on a 24-year-old youth from Ramanathapuram in six sittings. He was discharged on Saturday with no other complication. The treatment using linear accelerator true beam machine was given for the first time in any government hospital in Tamil Nadu, according to the GRH Dean A Rathinavel. The state-of-the-art equipment costing ₹22 crore was installed last September. GRH is one of the nine centres in the State to have this equipment.
