Brain tumor treatment with CyberKnife

CyberKnife is a high-tech system for treating brain tumors with radiosurgery. This outpatient treatment is non-invasive and uses advanced robotic technology to deliver highly targeted radiation to the brain tumor. Compared to traditional radiation therapy, this treatment has many advantages. The CyberKnife system uses real-time images and a robotic arm to deliver precise doses of radiation while damaging as little healthy tissue as possible around it. As a result, CyberKnife is a great way to treat complicated or hard-to-reach tumors. The treatment starts with a thorough evaluation that includes taking a medical history, looking at medical records, doing a physical exam, and talking to a radiation oncologist. Then, lab tests and an MRI are used to determine whether the patient is a good candidate for CyberKnife treatment and to find the tumor accurately. The patient is then prepared for the procedure. First, a detailed treatment plan is made using imaging data and 3D radiation planning, and the radiation oncologist makes it fits the patient's needs. During CyberKnife radiosurgery, the person lies on a comfortable table. Then, the robotic arm moves around them and precisely sends radiation to the tumor. The reparation and treatment usually take four days, after which patients can return to their everyday lives.
