Unrivaled precision in liver function protection.
The liver performs numerous vital functions in the body. That is why, when treating liver cancer, it is critical to avoid causing as much damage to normal liver tissue as possible. Advanced radiation techniques, such as stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) delivered with the CyberKnife S7 System, gives doctors the option of treating the tumour effectively while minimizing radiation to nearby healthy tissues.
The CyberKnife S7 System, the world's only robotic radiosurgery system, provides a non-surgical approach to treating liver tumours. Throughout the treatment, the CyberKnife S7 System's unique real-time motion synchronization technology tracks the position of the tumour while simultaneously moving the robot to precisely target the radiation beam. Tumors in the abdomen, such as liver tumours, move with the patient's breathing. The ability to track, detect, and adapt to this is enhanced by preserving as much healthy liver tissue as possible.
Motion is extremely important. The robotic design and motion synchronization technology of the CyberKnife S7 System allow for extremely precise radiation delivery. This surgical-like precision is critical for providing the best long-term cancer control while minimising dose to surrounding healthy tissues to reduce side effects and preserve liver function. Patients who are unable to undergo surgery and/or whose tumours cannot be completely removed with surgery may benefit from CyberKnife S7 treatment. The CyberKnifeS7 System can also serve as a stepping stone to transplantation.
Key CyberKnife S7 treatment advantages
Non-invasive and non-surgical
Excellent outcomes for inoperable tumours
Treatments are usually completed in one to five treatment sessions on consecutive days.
During treatment, most patients can resume normal activities.
