Cyberknife, one of the latest technologies in the Asia Pacific region in the field of cancer research has been launched by the Apollo
Speciality Cancer Hospital. The hospital, by introducing this procedure, has opened a new dimension in the field of cancer treatment in the
region.
The CyberKnife® Robotic Radio Surgery System introduced by the Apollo Hospitals Group will be a great step towards
proving quality cancer
research in the country. Cyberknife is the one and only robotic radiosurgery system in the world. It is a great process which can be used to
cure tumors in any part of the human body with utmost precision and cure. The procedure was unveiled by Dr. Prathap C. Reddy, the Executive
Chairman of the Apollo Hospitals Group. While unveiling the procedure he said that the “Apollo Speciality Cancer Hospital is one of the few
hospitals in India equipped to provide 360-degree cancer care. In our continuing endeavor to fight cancer, we have brought the most advanced
CyberKnife® in Asia Pacific.”
CyberKnife® is the first radiosurgery system in the world used to treat various types of tumors and cancers. The procedure can be very
effectively to cure various types of tumors in any part of the body with sub-millimeter precision and correctness.
CyberKnife® technique consists of cyber generated robotics and image guidance programs which are able to produce a proportion of radiation
to the particular targets with great accuracy. Another great benefit of the procedure is that the healthy tissues around the target area are
not affected at all. The movement of the tumor is also supervised during the process of treatment. Dr. John.R.Adler M.D, who is the professor
of Neurosurgery and Radiation Oncology at Stanford University Medical Centre, has been credited with the discovery of the CyberKnife® Robotic
Radiosurgery System.
In comparison to other traditional cancer therapies, CyberKnife® almost does not have any type of complications and side effects. In almost
all other cancer therapies, the patient feels pain and discomfort. CyberKnife® can very efficiently cure various types of tumors which are
hard to operate or in-operable. Another important benefit is that manifold tumors in various parts of the body can be effectively treated at
one single session.
The CyberKnife® treatment procedure that has been launched by the Apollo Speciality Cancer Hospital will really be a great step in bringing
a smile on the faces of the patients.
