Novalis Tx™
General Information

Surgery without a trace.

Patients of Baptist Cancer Institute and Baptist Medical Center are among the first in the nation to have access to state-of-the-art radiation equipment that offers fast, accurate, minimally invasive treatments for cancer and other conditions in the brain, head, neck and body.

Novalis Tx™ involves quickly delivering precisely focused, high-energy radiation to a localized area to destroy tumors throughout the body that often cannot be treated using traditional surgery, including: Malignant and benign tumors Brain metastases (spread of cancer from other parts of the body to the brain) Arteriovenous malformations (a defect of the body's circulatory system) Trigeminal neuralgia (a disorder of a specific nerve in the brain that causes intense facial pain) The accuracy of the Novalis Tx system protects nearby healthy tissue from damaging radiation so higher doses of radiation can be delivered to the targeted tumor with each treatment. Best of all, Novalis Tx treatment offers short treatment times for patient comfort, while still offering effective results.
