Understanding Brain Cancer

Brain cancer involves the growth of abnormal cells in the brain tissues. Brain tumors can be malignant (cancerous) and invade nearby tissue, or benign (noncancerous), which do not invade nearby tissue. However, even benign tumors can cause serious health issues depending on their size and location, as they can press on critical areas of the brain.

Brain tumors may originate in the brain (primary tumors) or spread to the brain from other parts of the body, such as the lungs or breasts (secondary or metastatic tumors). The symptoms and severity of brain cancer vary significantly based on the tumor’s size, type, and location.

Common symptoms include:

  • Headaches
  • Seizures
  • Difficulty thinking or speaking
  • Personality changes
  • Vision problems, and 
  • Loss of coordination

Advanced Brain Cancer Treatment with the CyberKnife

The CyberKnife system offers a breakthrough in brain cancer treatment. Unlike its name suggests, it’s a minimally invasive and non-surgical approach utilizing stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).

Advanced robotics and computer guidance work together to deliver high-dose radiation with pinpoint accuracy directly to the targeted tumor. This precision minimizes radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissues and organs.

This technology is particularly promising for hard-to-reach or inoperable brain tumors. Given the brain’s delicate and complex nature, the CyberKnife’s sub-millimeter accuracy is crucial.

It destroys tumors while leaving healthy tissues unharmed, significantly reducing the risk of side effects like bleeding and infections often seen with conventional radiation therapy or surgery.

Benefits of the CyberKnife 

  • Precision and Accuracy: The CyberKnife system is the only complete robotic radiation delivery system featuring a linear accelerator (LINAC) mounted on a robotic arm. This setup allows for thousands of beam angles, achieving sub-millimeter accuracy in targeting tumors.
  • Real-Time Motion Synchronization: The CyberKnife’s motion adaptive technology compensates for patient movement during treatment, ensuring continuous accuracy and effectiveness.
  • Improved Comfort: Unlike surgery or traditional radiation therapy, the CyberKnife avoids the need for fixed frames or anesthesia, minimizing risks and maximizing patient comfort.
  • Reduced Side Effects: The precision of the CyberKnife treatment means less radiation exposure to healthy tissues, leading to fewer side effects than traditional radiation therapy.
  • Shorter Recovery Time: The CyberKnife is a time-effective treatment allowing patients to get back to their regular routine in no time. While conventional radiation therapy requires 30 to 45 sessions over 8 to 10 weeks, the CyberKnife program is completed in under 5 sessions over 1 to 2 weeks.
