CyberKnife in Cancer Treatment

What is CyberKnife?

CyberKnife is a method of treatment that eliminates tumors as accurately as surgery and that prevents damage to tissues due to beams. Thanks to this technology, patients can return to their daily routines with little to no interruption in their normal activities after treatment.

On what organs CyberKnife is used?
CyberKnife is designed to treat tumors using beams with extreme accuracy without any side effects throughout the body, including the brain, spine, throat, lung, liver, pancreas, kidney, suprarenal gland, and prostate with no anesthesia and no incision.

It has minimum margin of error!

It causes no pain or side effects.

CyberKnife is the latest point, state-of-the-art technology in radiotherapy in treatment of common cancer types such as brain tumors, spine, throat, lung, liver, pancreas, kidney, suprarenal gland, and prostate.

PROSTATE CANCER’S IMPACT ON LIFE SPAN DEPENDS ON TUMOR TYPE

There are types of tumors that grow very slowly, causing almost no problems to patients throughout their lives. However, there are also those that grow very fast leading to death in a short period of time. Whether prostate cancer will cause death or the treatment will be successful depends on the characteristics of tumors. Characteristics of tumors are determined using the PSA values and a system called Gleason Score.

SAFE TREATMENT WITH CYBERKNIFE
It is known that the surgical method called “radical prostatectomy” is one of the most common methods in treatment of the prostate cancer.

How is CyberKnife applied to cancerous tissues and what are its advantages over Gamma?

  • Before receiving the actual CyberKnife radiation treatment, a number of tiny gold chips are inserted, for example, inside the prostate using ultrasound to direct the CyberKnife’s radiation beams to the tumor with pinpoint accuracy.
  • Then, the CyberKnife robot follows the movement of these chips, and moving along with the prostate, it zaps the tumor with pinpoint accuracy.
  • Patients move as they breathe. Therefore, thanks to this method, CyberKnife adapts itself to these movements by following the gold chips inserted inside the cancerous cells, preventing unnecessary application of the beam to the surrounding healthy cells and tissues.
  • CyberKnife treatment can be completed within four to ten days.
  • CyberKnife offers higher success rates compared to other radiotherapy methods, for it allows use of beams of higher dose of radiation safely.
