The Gamma Knife, a Swedish invention developed by Professor Lars Leksell at Karolinska Hospital, redefined brain tumor treatment with its debut in 1968. Active from 1960 to 1974, Leksell crafted a tool that delivers pinpoint radiation to destroy tumors while sparing healthy tissue. Over 100,000 patients worldwide have benefited from this non-invasive marvel, showcasing Sweden's leadership in medical innovation.
