What is Ocular Cancer?
Ocular cancer, or eye cancer, refers to various types of malignancies that can develop in different parts of the eye and its surrounding structures. The most common type of primary intraocular cancer in adults is uveal melanoma, which originates in the uvea, the middle layer of the eye. Other types of ocular cancers include intraocular lymphoma and retinoblastoma, the latter being the most prevalent ocular cancer in children.
These cancers can also originate from cells that have spread from other parts of the body to the eye, known as secondary ocular cancers. Melanoma, for instance, can develop from melanocytes, the pigment-making cells in the uvea, and these cells can mutate and multiply uncontrollably.
What is the CyberKnife Treatment?
The CyberKnife is a non-invasive, robotic radiation therapy system that delivers precise, high-dose radiation to tumors with extreme accuracy.
This precision is especially beneficial for treating tumors in hard-to-reach or sensitive areas, such as ocular cancer, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues.
- Non-Invasive Option: The CyberKnife system is a revolutionary advancement in the field of radiation therapy. Unlike traditional methods, the CyberKnife uses advanced robotics and real-time imaging to deliver high-dose radiation with sub-millimeter precision. This targeted approach allows us to treat ocular tumors with minimal impact on surrounding healthy tissues.
- Enhanced Patient Comfort and Safety: With the CyberKnife system, treatments are non-surgical and require no anesthesia. This reduces the risks associated with invasive procedures and makes the experience much more comfortable for patients. Additionally, the precise delivery of radiation ensures that the healthy parts of the eye and surrounding facial structures are preserved, maintaining quality of life both during and after treatment.
- Reduced Treatment Times: The CyberKnife system’s efficiency not only provides a quicker treatment process but also reduces the number of sessions needed. Patients typically complete their treatment in one to five sessions, which is significantly fewer than traditional radiation therapy. This means less time in treatment and more time doing the things you love.
