Cyber knife robotic radiation treatment

Cyber knife robotic radiation treatment - Overview

The Cyber Knife System is a non-invasive treatment for cancerous and non-cancerous tumors and other conditions where radiation therapy is indicated— one of the most advanced forms of radiosurgery. This non-invasive treatment delivers high doses of precisely targeted radiation to destroy tumors or lesions within the body. This treatment is used in treating conditions throughout the body, including the prostate, lung, brain, spine, head and neck, liver, pancreas and kidney, and can be an alternative to surgery or for patients who have inoperable or surgically complex tumors.

The invention of Cyber knife is a great help to all the patients who are dealing with the deadly brain tumors.

Cyber knife robotic radiation treatment - Pre-Procedure

Before performing a cyber knife robotic radiation the doctor will conduct an evaluation depending on the patient’s specific requirements. A team of doctors, including radiation oncologists, medical oncologists and surgeons along with medical physicists, radiation technicians and nurses work together to define the care plan for the patient.

Then MRI, CT or CT/PET scan is taken to determine the size, shape and location of the tumor. healthy tissue.

Depending on the type and location of the tumour, the will insert the fiducials (small golden markers) to determine the exact location of the tumour.

Cyber knife robotic radiation treatment - During Procedure

• In the first step of the procedure, the patient is positioned on the table and the robot moves around carefully to deliver radiation to the selected part.
• At the same time, the VSI system takes the X-ray scan of the part of the tumor that is being treated to provide real-time location and images. This helps in increasing the precision and accuracy of the treatment being delivered.
• This is done for 1 to 5 times, depending upon the severity and location of the tumor. Each session may last approximately for 1 hour.

Cyber knife robotic radiation treatment - Post-Procedure

After a cyber knife robotic radiation treatment mostly patients do not require any kind of observation. This is a highly probable treatment and patients will not experience any side effects, (although there may be some which vary with the severity and location of the tumor). The patients are advised to follow up with their doctors continuously to avoid any risk.
