Spinal tumor treatment with CyberKnife

CyberKnife is a high-tech robotic system that uses precise radiation to treat spinal tumors. It's a great alternative to traditional surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy because it's non-invasive and accurate. Before starting CyberKnife treatment, patients undergo standard evaluations, including medical history, a physical exam, and consulting with a radiation oncologist. They also get an MRI scan to determine the tumor's location, size, and shape. Then, a team of experts, such as neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, and medical physicists, work together to plan a personal treatment. During the procedure, the patient lies on a table. At the same time, the CyberKnife robot delivers radiation to the tumor from different angles. The system keeps track of the patient's movements and adjusts the radiation beams as needed. Each session takes around 30 minutes to an hour. CyberKnife is often chosen when surgery is too risky or not possible. It can also be used for hard-to-reach tumors or if the patient has already had radiation therapy. Sometimes, CyberKnife is combined with other treatments like chemotherapy for better results. By choosing CyberKnife treatment, the patients get a painless, non-invasive, accurate, outpatient, personalized, and comfortable procedure. Talk to a healthcare professional to determine if CyberKnife is the right option.
