From the supplier: The patient's viewpoint on stereotactic radiosurgery for primary malignant brain tumors was obtained from interviews with eight such patients using Colaizzi's phenomenological technique. Major themes included the willingness to undergo the procedure again and the lack of discomfort compared to other treatments. The patients educated themselves about the Gamma Knife treatment and asked about the possibility of receiving the treatment. The patients were aware of their diagnosis of glioblastoma multiforme and the poor prognosis. Citation Details Title: Stereotactic radiosurgery for malignant brain tumors: the patient's perspective.
