About Lung Cancer
Lung cancer arises when abnormal cell growth occurs uncontrollably in one or both lungs. This growth can lead to tumors that impair lung function and have the potential to spread throughout the body.
Lung cancer remains a significant health challenge globally, with various factors like smoking, radon gas exposure, and genetics playing roles in its development.
Why the CyberKnife for Lung Cancer?
Traditional surgery for lung cancer can be invasive and leave patients with significant recovery times. However, San Francisco CyberKnife offers a revolutionary alternative: the CyberKnife system.
This groundbreaking technology utilizes high-dose radiation with pinpoint accuracy to target tumors within the lung. Unlike traditional surgery, CyberKnife is completely non-invasive, requiring no incisions.
This translates to minimal side effects, faster recovery times, and a significant improvement in patient comfort and quality of life.
What is the CyberKnife System?
The CyberKnife System is an advanced stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) method designed to treat lung cancer while minimizing side effects and complications typically associated with conventional radiation therapy.
This minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure uses advanced robotics guided by precise computer imaging to track and target tumors accurately. The system’s robotic arm delivers high-dose radiation beams directly to the tumor, even accounting for subtle movements like breathing, ensuring comfort and protection of healthy tissues and vital organs.
Benefits of the CyberKnife
Choosing the CyberKnife for lung cancer offers precise, effective treatment with fewer complications and side effects compared to surgery and traditional radiation. It’s also an excellent alternative for inoperable or surgically complex cases, or for those seeking a non-surgical option.
- Non-Invasive Approach: Say goodbye to surgical incisions. The CyberKnife offers a safer alternative that avoids the risks of surgery and anesthesia.
- Precise Targeting: Minimize radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissues and organs, especially near critical areas like the heart, esophagus, or spinal cord.
- Faster Treatment: Get back to your life quicker. Treatment typically involves 1-5 sessions, lasting 30 to 60 minutes each.
