CyberKnife radiation treatment helps in the delivery of high-dose radiation to tumors with extreme precision. It is the world’s first and only robotic type of radiosurgery that helps in the treatment of tumors throughout the body in a non-invasive way. It provides a non-surgical, pain-free treatment option to patients having surgically complex or inoperable tumors, or patients who looking for an alternative to surgery.
CyberKnife radiation treatment is used for the treatment of the following types of tumors:
The patient lies down on the treatment table under a robotic device that will deliver radiation. The position of the patient is determined by the simulation procedure performed before the treatment session which determines the exact location where the radiation needs to be delivered.
A computer will control the robot and move it around the patient, focusing on the treatment area.
A linear accelerator machine is used by the robotic arm to deliver high-powered radiation beams directly at the tumor from more than 1,400 different directions and angles.
The robotic arm has extreme flexibility and can direct the radiation beams at even those areas of the body which are otherwise difficult to reach.
X-rays and other imaging tests are taken at the same as the radiation is being delivered. This helps in increasing the accuracy and precision of the treatment.
The patient usually undergoes one to five treatment sessions, depending on the location and severity of the tumor. Each treatment session lasts for about one hour.
There are minimal or no risks associated with CyberKnife radiation treatment. The side effects, if present, are usually short-term and may include the following:
