Mr Edward Halloran, FRCS (SN)
Consultant Neurosurgeon
Mr Edward Halloran (FRCS (SN)) is a consultant neurosurgeon whose practice includes stereotactic radiosurgery for brain tumours, vascular malformations, and trigeminal neuralgia, working alongside the radiation-oncology and physics colleagues who share the planning of every case.
He vets the clinical content on American Radiosurgery: that the descriptions of who is a candidate, how a target is dosed, what the risks and latency to effect really are, and how follow-up imaging is read, all match how a radiosurgery team works today, in line with guidance from bodies such as the Society of British Neurological Surgeons, NICE, and the American Association of Neurological Surgeons.
His review keeps the writing accurate. It does not make it personal to you, and reading it does not place you under his care. Whether radiosurgery is the right choice for a particular tumour or malformation is a decision for the team who can see your scans and examine you.
