Great News!
Last week, I was invited to witness for myself an evolutionary invention for the medical world; CyberKnife, which is a robo-mechanical Artificial Intelligence system which is capable of removing cancer tumours and other lesions using laser technology without surgery.
It is a complete system which is analogous to computer aided manufacturing, where the surgeon will only standby for backup, all procedures are being carried out by the computer system.
Currently, this invention (from Stanford University) is only being deployed at 100 locations around the world, with Malaysia being the first in south east asia region. There is one in each South Korea and Japan. It is a huge machine which would occupy a 10 x 10 meters room.
Introduction:
CyberKnife being offered by Wijaya International Medical Center(WIMC) is Asia Pacific's first revolutionary non-invasive treatment, for destroying tumours and other lesions throughout the body with precision radiation using this Stereotactic Radiosurgery System.
Currently, WIMC, being the only facility in the Asia Pacific region providing CyberKnife radiosurgery is a recognized member of CyberKnife society. The society is an international body comprising membership of doctors and specialists who are dedicated to the clinical and academic exchange of information.
This painless, outpatient Cyberknife procedure is an alternative to conventional surgery or radiation therapy.
What is CyberKnife ?
CyberKnife Radiosurgery is a precise, painless, non-invasive radiation treatment that can be an alternative to open surgery in certain cases. It was invented at Stanford University and is considered a major advance in the radiological treatment of cancer.
In CyberKnife Radiosurgery, multiple beams of high-energy radiation are delivered from multiple points outside of the body and converge precisely at the tumour or lesion inside the body.
Each individual beam is not sufficient to cause harm, but the covergence of all the beams at the tumour results in the lesion receiving a very high dose of radiation while sparing nearly normal tissue.
CyberKnife Radiosurgery, with sub-milimeter clinical surgery, is so precise that radiation can be matched to the shape of a small complex tumours located near critical structures.
This ability allows CyberKnife to treat many lesions that may be considered inoperable or untreatable with other Radiosurgery systems.
What types of tumours can be treated?
The cyberknife system is cleared by the FDA to treat tumours and lesions anywhere in the body when radiation treatment is indicated. Consult with your doctor to advise if CyberKnife treatment is suitable for you.
