A New Hope for Cancer – Introducing the First-Ever CyberKnife® in the Philippines

Home | News | A New Hope for Cancer – Introducing the First-Ever CyberKnife® in the Philippines

Asian Hospital and Medical Center proudly brings you the CyberKnife®, a groundbreaking radiotherapy machine dedicated to stereotactic radiation treatment. Setting new standards in cancer care, this revolutionary technology marks a significant milestone in the Philippines.

 

What is CyberKnife®?

The CyberKnife® is non-invasive treatment designed for both cancerous and non-cancerous tumors, as well as other medical conditions requiring radiation therapy. Unlike conventional radiotherapy systems, CyberKnife® delivers precise and accurate treatments, reducing damage to healthy tissues and minimizing side effects.

 

What Types of Cancer Can CyberKnife® Treat?

CyberKnife® is highly versatile and effective in targeting a wide range of cancers, including but not limited to:

  • Brain Lesions: Both malignant and benign, including meningiomas, arteriovenous malformations (AVMS) brain metastasis, spread from other cancers to the brain. 

  • Lung Cancer: Treats early-stage lung cancer and metastatic lesions with exceptional accuracy.

  • Prostate Cancer: Offers precise treatment while minimizing side effects in 5 sessions. 

  • Liver Cancer: Effective for both primary and metastatic liver tumors.

  • Pediatric Cancer: high-dose radiation to pediatric tumors while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues, making it effective for brain, spine, and certain soft tissue cancers with fewer side effects.

  • Spinal Tumors: Non-invasive treatment for tumors in sensitive spinal areas and (bone metastasis) spread from other cancer to the bone

  • Head and Neck Cancer: Re-irradiation 

  • Pancreatic Cancer: Targets tumors in challenging locations with precision.

  • Kidney Cancer: Non-invasive option for primary or metastatic kidney tumors.

  • Oligometastasis: Cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. 
     

Key benefits of CyberKnife® treatment:

  1. High precision:
    Utilizes real-time image guidance to track tumor movement during treatment, ensuring radiation is delivered directly to the target area. 

  2. Non-invasive:
    No incisions or anesthesia required, making it a comfortable treatment option. 

  3. Short treatment duration:
    Typically involves only a few sessions, lasting around 30-90 minutes each. 

  4. Minimal side effects:
    Due to the precise targeting, healthy tissue is largely spared, minimizing potential side effects. 

  5. Outpatient procedure:
    Patients can usually return to normal activities immediately after treatment. 

  6. Suitable for challenging tumors:
    Can treat tumors located near critical structures or those that move with breathing.

 

Why Choose CyberKnife® at Asian Hospital and Medical Center?

Choose CyberKnife® treatment for its non-invasive, highly precise radiation therapy that effectively targets tumors while sparing healthy tissue. It offers quick treatment sessions, minimal recovery time, and few to no side effects, making it an excellent option for hard-to-reach tumors and patients who are not candidates for surgery or traditional radiation therapies.
