What is Cyberknife Radiation Therapy Naples?
At Naples Urology Associates, we are proud to offer our customers the latest innovations in urological health. As a result, we now offer our prostate and kidney cancer patients the chance to be treated with the innovative Cyberknife System. This system delivers radiation directly into the tumor through a cutting-edge image guidance system.
The Cyberknife System is composed of an accelerator mounted to a robotic arm that is guided by real-time images of the patients organ. The arm fires multiple x-ray radiation beams into the tumor. Because the robotic arm is able to move all the way around the body, the Cyberknife is able to deliver the x-ray radiation directly into the tumor, sparing much more of the surrounding tissue than is possible with other urological cancer treatments. Because the arm is able to track the organ as the treatment is being given, even slight movements that the patient makes can be compensated for during treatment. This means that you will not have to be restrained while receiving this treatment. The robotic arm can even compensate for the change in position caused by sudden movements, such as a sneeze or cough. The x-ray radiation effectively destroys the cancer while preserving most of the tissue around it.
In addition to these benefits, treatment with the Cyberknife requires no incision, thus it causes no blood loss. Also, since there is no pain involved with the procedure, patients will not need to undergo anesthesia. This means that patients can return to their normal routines immediately after treatment. There is no recovery time associated with this procedure.
