IN PAKISTAN :CYBERKNIFE ROBOTIC DELIVERY CANCEROUS & NONCANCEROUS TUMOUR TREATMENT.SUCCESS RATE 88 TO 98% ,SAFE &SUPERIOR TO NORMAL RADIATION.

The availability of?CyberKnife technology in Pakistan is on the rise. Leading hospitals and cancer centers in major cities are embracing this advanced treatment option, eliminating the need for patients to seek treatment abroad. This accessibility is a significant step forward in the country’s fight against cancer.

Worthy audience are you wondering?what is Cyberknife? Or?how does Cyberknife work??CyberKnife is not just another cancer treatment; it represents a cutting-edge technological marvel that has transformed the way we approach cancer therapy. Officially known as stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), CyberKnife offers a non-invasive and highly precise method for treating cancer. It combines the power of robotics and real-time imaging to deliver radiation therapy with unparalleled accuracy and effectiveness. the Cyber Knife System (available in Lahore is the only radiation delivery system that features a?linear accelerator?(linac) directly mounted on a robot to deliver the high-energy x-rays or photons used in radiation therapy. The robot moves and bends around the patient, to deliver radiation doses from potentially thousands of unique beam angles, significantly expanding the possible positions to concentrate radiation to the tumor while minimizing dose to surrounding healthy tissue. This robotic delivery and real-time image guidance have set the standard for delivery precision and enable?stereotactic?radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) treatments for the full range of tumor types.

• At the core of CyberKnife’s success is its ability to target cancer cells with exceptional precision while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. The system utilizes a robotic arm equipped with a linear accelerator that emits focused radiation beams.?
• What sets CyberKnife apart is its robotic arm’s ability to rotate around the patient’s body, allowing for precise targeting of cancerous cells from various angles. Moreover, the CyberKnife system employs advanced software that relies on real-time imaging to continuously track the tumor’s movement. This dynamic adaptation ensures that the radiation beams are delivered with utmost precision to the affected area.
• It is used to treat conditions throughout the body, including the prostate, lung, brain, spine, head and neck, liver, pancreas and kidney, and can be an alternative to surgery or for patients who have inoperable or surgically complex tumors.
• CyberKnife treatments are typically performed in 1 to 5 sessions. The CyberKnife System has more than two decades of clinical proof and has helped thousands of cancer patients.
• Precise and accurate delivery of radiation to the tumor is key to killing cancerous cells while minimizing dose to healthy tissues. Accurate and precise delivery helps minimize?irradiation?of the healthy tissues surrounding tumors and potentially having no side effects, which may lead to better quality of life for the patient both during and after treatment.
• Minimally Invasive:?CyberKnife treatment is non-invasive, sparing patients from incisions or the need for general anesthesia.
• Unmatched Precision:?Thanks to its advanced software system and real-time imaging capabilities, CyberKnife treatment can precisely target cancerous cells, minimizing exposure to healthy tissues.
• Minimal Side Effects:?CyberKnife’s non-invasive nature translates into fewer side effects compared to traditional cancer treatments. Patients often report minimal pain and discomfort during and after the treatment.
• Short Recovery Time:?CyberKnife treatment boasts a shorter recovery period, enabling patients to return to their normal activities within a few days of completing their sessions.
• High Success Rates and Low Chances of Cancer Relapse:?Numerous studies have shown that CyberKnife treatment can achieve success rates of up to 90% in treating cancerous cells. Furthermore, the chances of cancer recurrence after CyberKnife treatment are relatively low, providing essential peace of mind for patients.

1. Worthy audience most side effects of?radiotherapy, including radiotherapy delivered with Accuracy systems, are mild and temporary, often involving fatigue, nausea, and skin irritation. Side effects can be severe, however, leading to pain, alterations in normal body functions (for example, urinary or salivary function), deterioration of quality of life, permanent injury and even death. Side effects can occur during, shortly after radiation treatment, or in the months and years following radiation. The nature and severity of side effects depend on many factors, including the size and location of the treated tumor, the treatment technique (for example, the radiation dose), the patient’s general medical condition, to name a few.

2 ?. Real-time motion synchronization. Worthy audience here a question rises as to why does motion management matter? As is evident the patient breathes. The patient could change their position or move their head, even slightly. The patient could cough. Muscles tense and relax. The CyberKnife System is the only device designed to accommodate all forms of patient and tumor motion, even while the treatment is being delivered. With its motion adaptive delivery technology, the CyberKnife System enables smaller treatment margins around the tumor, minimizing the amount of healthy tissue exposed to high-dose radiation.

3.? The CyberKnife System uses advanced technologies to track tumors anywhere in the body, while its unique robotic design keeps the radiation on target even while the tumor moves. Before delivering the radiation beam, the CyberKnife System is the only device that verifies the exact tumor position then adjusts the robot to precisely target the tumor. This helps to ensure radiation is delivered to where the tumor is, not to where it was moments before. Additionally, the CyberKnife System features Synchrony, the world’s only real-time adaptive delivery technology. Synchrony adapts the delivery of the radiation treatment to tumors while they are in motion by synchronizing the treatment delivery beam position to the target location precisely and accurately during the delivery of a treatment fraction. The sophisticated motion synchronization technology eliminates the need to use uncomfortable patient restraints, or ask patients to hold their breath for example.

4.?? Worthy audience patient movement because of normal body functions, including regular breathing, filling of the bladder, or gas in the bowel can shift the tumor by a centimeter or more, which can make it challenging to accurately target the radiation and result in under- or over-dosing of the tumor. Too much radiation may increase the risk of side effects while too little may reduce the effectiveness of the treatment. Tracking the tumor’s movement ?and synchronizing the delivery of radiation with that movement helps to maximize treatment effectiveness, while minimizing dose to surrounding tissues, which can help reduce the incidence of side effects. In conclusion,?CyberKnife treatment represents a remarkable leap forward in Pakistan's cancer care landscape. Its precision, minimally invasive approach, and versatility redefine cancer treatment, offering patients a more comfortable and effective path to recovery.

5. Patients often have questions about?what to expect during CyberKnife treatment. Fortunately, the process is generally painless, and side effects are minimal. Most patients can swiftly resume their daily activities after each session, thanks to the treatment’s non-invasive nature.Cost And Insurance Insights.While the benefits of CyberKnife are clear, the cost of treatment may vary depending on the type and location of the cancer. To navigate the financial aspect, it’s wise to consult healthcare providers about insurance coverage and explore potential financial assistance options.

6. Conclusion. In conclusion, CyberKnife treatment represents a remarkable leap forward in Pakistan’s cancer care landscape. Its precision, minimally invasive approach, and versatility redefine cancer treatment, offering patients a more comfortable and effective path to recovery. As we look ahead, it is crucial for patients and healthcare providers to recognize the significant value that CyberKnife brings to the fight against cancer.
