Cyberknife therapy is a type of robotic radiosurgery system used to treat cancer. It is a non-invasive, robotic radiation therapy that targets high radiation doses directly to the tumour, while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue.
The key features of Cyberknife therapy include:
1. Precision targeting: The Cyberknife system uses advanced imaging and tracking technology to accurately locate and target the tumour, even if it moves during treatment.
2. Robotic delivery: The Cyberknife system is a robotic arm that can move around the patient to deliver radiation from multiple angles, allowing for highly targeted and customized treatment plans.
3. No surgical incision: Cyberknife is a non-invasive treatment, so there is no surgical incision required.
4. Shorter treatment duration: Cyberknife treatments are often completed in 1-5 sessions, compared to traditional radiation therapies which are done at multiple sessions over several weeks.
Cyberknife therapy is commonly used to treat various types of cancers, including brain, lung, prostate, liver, and spine tumours and is considered as a preferred treatment option for cancer patients who are not candidates for traditional surgery or radiation therapy or for those looking to minimize side effects.
Cyberknife has been used to treat a variety of malignancies, including:
1. Brain Tumors:
2. Lung Cancer:
3. Prostate Cancer:
4. Liver Cancer:
5. Spinal Tumors:
6. Pancreatic Cancer:
The versatility of Cyberknife allows it to be used in the treatment of a wide range of malignancies, making it a valuable tool in the oncologist’s arsenal. The precision and accuracy of Cyberknife treatment can lead to successful treatment outcomes and less side effects for many cancer patients.
