The inadequate awareness in the general population is a primary concern for the [[management]] of various neurosurgical ailments treated with [[gamma knife radiosurgery]] (GKRS).

An essential component of disease management is to relieve the anxiety and confusion in the patient's mind and help one choose a treatment modality among the available options. A patient-centric booklet helps impart knowledge, clears doubts, and provides an opportunity to discuss options with family members
