The most advanced and innovative treatment in the field of cancer treatment is Cyberknife. It is World's first non-invasive robotic radio surgery that offers treatment of tumors & lesions.
Now the areas of spine & spinal cord can be easily treated due to the flexibility of the robotic arm. It can deliver highly precise & focused beams of radiation to destroy the lesions/ tumors.
The diagnostic methods performed by a Cyberknife surgery are:
The patient is made to lie down and general anesthesia is administered. The robotic arm moves around the body without touching it to treat the areas affected with tumor.
The process is usually done on an outpatient basis lasting anywhere between 30-90 minutes.
As it is done on an out-patient basis there is no need for extra care. The patient must avoid driving after the surgery.
