Understanding Lung Cancer
Lung cancer begins when abnormal cells in the lungs multiply uncontrollably, leading to the formation of tumors that disrupt lung function and can spread to other areas of the body. This type of cancer is one of the most prevalent in the U.S.
It usually starts in the lung cells and can metastasize to other regions. Major risk factors include smoking, radon gas exposure, and a family history of the disease.
Early detection of lung cancer, made possible by low-dose CT scans, is critical for improving prognosis and quality of life. These scans allow for identifying the disease at its earliest stages, leading to more effective treatment options and potentially better outcomes.
Our CyberKnife Treatment in Oklahoma
The CyberKnife offers a minimally invasive and non-surgical alternative to traditional radiation therapy for lung cancer. This advanced radiosurgery technique utilizes robotics and precise computer guidance to deliver high doses of radiation directly to tumors.
Unlike conventional radiation, the CyberKnife’s robotic arm tracks and adjusts for even minor movements like breathing, minimizing radiation exposure to healthy lung tissue. This pinpoint accuracy reduces the risk of complications and side effects often associated with surgery or traditional radiation.
Why Choose the CyberKnife for Lung Cancer Treatment?
- Precise: The CyberKnife targets lung tumors with sub-millimeter accuracy, protecting surrounding healthy tissue.
- Non-Invasive: Ideal for inoperable or surgically complex lung cancers, the CyberKnife offers a precise, non-surgical treatment option.
