Cyber Knife Robotic Radiation

CyberKnife Robotic Radiation is a precise form of cancer treatment that uses advanced technology to deliver high doses of radiation to tumors. It involves a robotic system that can move around the patient, allowing radiation beams to be directed from various angles. This targeted approach minimizes damage to surrounding healthy tissues. The CyberKnife system uses real-time imaging to track the tumor's position, adjusting the radiation delivery as needed to ensure accuracy. It is often used for treating tumors in difficult-to-reach areas or when surgery is not an option. The procedure is typically painless and does not require hospitalization.

Patients with tumours that are being treated with the CyberKnife frequently weren't thought to be candidates for surgery or traditional radiation therapy in the past. The CyberKnife uses real-time x-rays to find the lesion during therapy; after that, the radiation beam is dynamically aligned with the target. Due to the robotic arm's flexibility, it is feasible to treat body parts including the spine and spinal cord that cannot be treated using standard radiosurgery methods.

About Cyber Knife Robotic Radiation

Using high-energy X-ray equipment installed on a robotic arm, CyberKnife precisely focuses radiation beams to destroy cancer cells and stop tumour development without damaging healthy tissue. Radiation beams are delivered with extreme precision using a robotic arm. Due to the robotic arm's flexibility, it is feasible to treat body parts including the spine and spinal cord that cannot be treated using standard radiosurgery methods.

Advantages of Radiation Treatment with CyberKnife:

  1. High Precision: CyberKnife delivers focused radiation directly to the tumor, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. Its robotic system adjusts the radiation beams from multiple angles for exact targeting.

  2. Non-Invasive: Unlike traditional surgery, CyberKnife treatment is non-invasive, which means no cuts or stitches are required. This reduces the risk of infection and eliminates the need for lengthy recovery times.

  3. Minimal Side Effects: By precisely targeting the tumor, CyberKnife reduces the exposure of healthy tissues to radiation, leading to fewer side effects compared to conventional radiation therapies.

  4. Quick Treatment: Each session is relatively short, often completed in about an hour. Multiple sessions might be required, but the overall treatment time is generally faster than traditional methods.

  5. Effective for Various Tumors: It is suitable for treating tumors in hard-to-reach areas, including those in the brain, spine, lungs, and prostate, making it a versatile option for many patients.

  6. Real-Time Tracking: The system uses advanced imaging to track the tumor's position and movement, ensuring the radiation is delivered accurately, even if the tumor shifts.

 

Procedure of Cyber Knife Robotic Radiation

  1. Preparation: Before the treatment, you'll have a consultation with your doctor to plan the procedure. You might need to have imaging tests, like CT or MRI scans, to precisely locate the tumor.
  2. Positioning: On the day of the treatment, you'll lie down on a treatment table. The CyberKnife system uses a specialized frame or positioning devices to keep you in the right position during the procedure.
  3. Treatment: The CyberKnife machine delivers high-dose radiation to the tumor using a robotic arm. This arm moves around you and adjusts the beams to target the tumor precisely from different angles. The treatment is usually painless and takes about an hour.
  4. Post-Treatment: After the session, you can return to your normal activities. You might need multiple sessions, depending on your condition. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor your progress and response to the treatment.
