Elekta AB Release: Gamma Knife Radiosurgery Gets Nod in Guinness World Records 2012 Edition for Halting Growth of “World’s Tallest Living Human”

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

Sultan Kosen won’t be posting new world records for height anymore, but that’s just fine with him. The Gamma Knife® radiosurgery the 29-year-old Turkish man had in August 2010 has successfully stopped his growth at the height of 8 ft 3 in (251 cm). Mr. Kosen, who suffered the effects of acromegaly, has held the title of “World’s Tallest Living Human” since September 2009, when his 8 ft plus stature edged 7 ft 9 in Xiu Xung from China.
