Frequently Asked Questions

Which Hospitals in the UAE Provide Stereotactic Radiation Therapy?

Several top-tier cancer centres in the UAE offer Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) for intracranial lesions and Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT/SABR) for extracranial tumours. These treatments are delivered with high precision and fewer sessions.

Who Administers Stereotactic Radiotherapy in the UAE?

Stereotactic treatments are performed by a multidisciplinary team consisting of:

  • Radiation Oncologists trained in SRS/SABR
  • Medical Physicists experienced in high-dose stereotactic planning
  • Dosimetrists for treatment mapping
  • Therapeutic Radiographers
  • Oncology Nurses and care coordinators

The radiation oncologist leads the treatment planning with image-based dose delivery supported by medical physicists.

Can I Choose a Particular Consultant or Hospital in the UAE?

Yes. Patients (both local and international) may select:

  • Consultants specialising in brain SRS, lung SABR, or oligometastatic disease
  • Centres using specific platforms (e.g., CyberKnife vs. Gamma Knife)
  • Facilities with faster wait times or international accreditation
  • Doctors with proven clinical outcomes in stereotactic cases

Appointments can be scheduled via MediGence.

What Credentials Should the Stereotactic Team Have?
Radiation Oncologist:
  • Licensed by the UAE Ministry of Health (MOH) or DHA/DOH
  • Fellowship or advanced training in SRS/SBRT, often in the UK, Germany, or the US
  • Experience with ≥50 stereotactic cases/year
  • Affiliation with cancer-specific MDTs and leading UAE hospitals
Medical Physicists/Dosimetrists:
  • MSc/PhD in Medical Physics
  • Certified by regional licensing boards (e.g., DOH, DHA)
  • Trained in 4D motion tracking, SBRT immobilisation, and QA testing
Am I Eligible for SRS or SABR in the UAE?

Stereotactic radiation is typically indicated for:

  • Small brain metastases or benign tumors (<3 cm)
  • Lung, liver, adrenal, or spinal tumors <5 cm
  • Oligometastatic cancer (≤5 metastases)
  • Inoperable cases or patients unfit for open surgery
  • Re-irradiation of previously treated areas
Evaluation Includes:
  • PET/CT, Brain MRI, or 4D CT
  • Pulmonary and cardiac fitness
  • Full review by an oncology MDT
Are There Waiting Lists for SRS/SABR in the UAE?

Public hospitals (SSMC, CCAD): 5–10 working days

Private hospitals (Dubai, Abu Dhabi): 2–5 days (depending on complexity)

Urgent cases (e.g., brain metastases) are prioritised for faster treatment. Private patients often access planning slots more quickly.

Can My Local Oncologist Work with a Stereotactic Centre in the UAE?

Yes. UAE hospitals routinely collaborate with referring oncologists for:

  • Uploading diagnostic scans (MRI, PET-CT, histopathology)
  • Joint review and pre-planning before you arrive
  • Return-home care with shared access to records and remote follow-up

This model is particularly beneficial for patients from the GCC, South Asia, and North Africa.

Are All Oncologists in the UAE Trained in Stereotactic Techniques?

No. SRS/SABR is a highly technical subspecialty. Ensure your oncologist:

  • Has completed fellowship programs (e.g., Varian, Elekta, CyberKnife)
  • Publishes clinical outcomes in peer-reviewed journals
  • Attends regular training from bodies like ESTRO or ASTRO
Can I Get a Second Opinion Before Travelling to the UAE?

Yes. UAE hospitals and MediGence offer virtual second opinions within 2–3 days.

During the Online Consultation:
  • A specialist will review your scans and history
  • Assess eligibility for SRS vs. SABR
  • Recommend treatment options, risk profile, and recovery timeline
  • Provide a cost breakdown and assistance with travel logistics
