Anthony Scuorzo, 79, of Waretown, New Jersey, enjoys an active life in his Jersey Shore retirement community, where he leads the state’s largest Italian American social club and has managed water volleyball, horseshoe, and softball clubs.
When he began experiencing double vision last year, he quickly sought answers. The diagnosis: a meningioma, a common, slow-growing brain tumor. Too large for surgical removal, Anthony turned to a groundbreaking treatment at Hackensack Meridian Neuroscience Institute at Jersey Shore University Medical Center. This hospital is the world’s first to combine ZAP-X® Gyroscopic Radiosurgery® with Synaptive’s Brain-Only Silent MRI, thanks to a generous gift from the Golden Dome Foundation and Mrs. Mary Ellen Harris.
This advanced, incision-free radiation therapy precisely targets tumors and is also effective for other brain disorders like trigeminal neuralgia and cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).
