Advantages of CyberKnife Radio Surgery in India

Cyberknife surgery in India

Cyberknife is the world's first and only robotic radiosurgery system which treats tumours anywhere in the body without any surgery. Though it is called Radiosurgery or Cyberknife- No knife is used for incision and no surgery is performed to treat the tumours. A new hope for patients who have inoperable or surgically complex tumors, or who may be looking for a non-surgical option. Cyberknife radiosurgery is a non –invasive, high-energy radiation treatment that delivers very precise beams of radiation from many angles outside the body. The accuracy of Cyberknife is so precise that radiation can be 'matched' to the shape of small complex tumors, even those located near critical organs. This ability allows Cyberknife to treat many lesions including some considered inoperable or untreatable with surgery.

 The CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System treats both cancerous and non-cancerous tumors anywhere in the body, including the prostate, lung, brain, spine, liver, pancreas and kidney.It provides a pain-free, non-surgical treatment to the patients with complex tumours which are un operable or too risky to be operated and to the patients who are looking for an alternative to surgery. To date, more than 100,000 patients have been successfully treated and more than 150 systems are installed worldwide.

Cyberknife Treatment Procedures

Cyber knife treatment works in mainly two ways. In the first methodology, lightweight radiation delivery equipment is inserted on a multi-jointed robotic arm, so that it can be easily reach tumors in any part of the body. In the second method, the technique uses image guidance system, which allows the Cyberknife therapy to track and allocate the tumor.

CyberKnife uses image guidance and robotics to maintain a high degree of precision and is particularly useful for tumors that are close to critical structures.

The biggest advantages which the Cyber knife treatment offers are that no anesthesia is required, no hospitalization and no cuts or incisions at all. This means that there is no recovery time and everyday activities can be resumed immediately. Also, the treatment is undertaken in 1 to 6 sessions, which can be performed on either the same day or different days, as per the patient's convenience.

What does Cyber knife Surgery Treat?

The Cyberknife system has FDA clearance for treatment of tumors in any location of the body. Cyberknife surgery is administered for both cancerous and benign tumors. All stages, from I until IV (metastases) can be treated. Following are treated using Cyberknife system:

• Cancers involving the brain
• Lung cancers
• Pancreatic cancers
• Metastatic liver cancers
• Cancers involving the spine
• Benign brain tumors
• Malformations of blood vessels within the brain
• Trigeminal neuralgia
• Metastatic orbital tumors, orbital lymphomas and orbital inflammations (tumors or inflammations around the eye)

Advantages of CyberKnife Radio Surgery Over Other Radio surgery Methods

• The CyberKnife system is able to locate tumors within the body without the use of an invasive stereotactic headframe used with other systems. This is much more convenient and less traumatic for patients.
• While other forms of radiosurgery can only treat tumors in the head, Cyberknife can treat tumours anywhere in the body- brain, spine, liver, lungs, pancreas, kidney or prostrate.
• While other forms of radio surgery treatment techniques need rigid head-frames screwed to the patient's head for controlling movement, which is painful and cumbersome for the patient, CyberKnife does not require such extreme procedures to keep patients in place, and instead relies on sophisticated tracking software, allowing for a much more comfortable and non-invasive treatment.
• The CyberKnife System can essentially "paint" the tumor with radiation allowing it to precisely deliver treatment to the tumor alone, sparing surrounding healthy tissue.

Cyberknife Cancer Treatment in India: A New Hope for Patients

There was a time, when cancer patients from India were flying to other countries for their treatment but thanks to hospitals in India, which has introduced the most advanced Cyberknife Radio Surgery System in Asia Pacific, things are now the other way around. Now, cancer patients from all across the world can receive Cyberknife cancer treatment in one of India's best hospitals.

Cyberknife surgery in India is offered at a greatly reduced costs. But this does not mean a compromise on the quality at all. Also, due to the reduced costs, patients can opt for a longer hospital stay. When going in for a Cyberknife treatment in India, there is one thing which you should keep in mind. Hospitals in India usually require a PET CT scan reports or MRI images before they can provide an estimate and accept the patient.
