Overview of Brain Cancer
Approximately 90,000 people are diagnosed with brain tumors every year worldwide, affecting people of all ages. Brain cancer occurs when there is abnormal cell growth in the brain and can manifest as either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) tumors.
Because it’s in the brain, the growth rate and location of the brain tumors can be a serious and life-altering disease based on how it affects the function of your nervous system.
Determining the best course of action for treatment means prioritizing the preservation of brain function while destroying brain tumors.
With the CyberKnife system, our brain cancer treatment in Austin uses advanced brain cancer treatment options to improve outcomes for many of our patients.
What is the CyberKnife?
Traditionally, treating brain cancer with radiation therapy meant exposing healthy tissue, raising the risk of side effects.
Austin CyberKnife offers a revolutionary alternative with the CyberKnife system that uses advanced technology to treat brain tumors with pinpoint accuracy.
Thousands of flexible beam angles deliver high-dose radiation directly to the tumor, while real-time tracking adjusts for even subtle movements like breathing. This translates to fewer side effects and a gentler approach.
The CyberKnife is also ideal for inoperable tumors due to its non-invasive nature, requiring no surgery or incisions.
Benefits of the CyberKnife for Brain Cancer Treatment
- Precision Targeting: The CyberKnife ensures pinpoint accuracy with high-dose radiation to effectively treat brain tumors while sparing healthy brain tissue from radiation exposure.
- Non-Invasive: This non-surgical radiation therapy promotes quicker recovery times and allows for a swift return to normal activities.
- Outpatient Convenience: Treatment sessions typically last 30 to 60 minutes, minimizing disruptions to daily activities.
- Shortened Treatment Period: Most CyberKnife brain cancer treatments are completed within 1 to 5 sessions, compared to weeks or months with traditional radiation therapy.
- Reduced Side Effects: The CyberKnife’s precision minimizes side effects, enhancing patient comfort and quality of life during treatment.
