They can use gamma knife technology for the treatment of cancers other than brain cancer, but only if it's mestasticized to the brain. (breast cancer thats spread, etc) So while it's true that they are treating breast/lung/pancreatic/liver cancer, they aren't using gamma knife technology on those particular body parts. They are still using it intracranially.
I'm sure if it were an option, my oncologist would have mentioned it by now. He's one of the best in the DFW area,
