What You Need To Know About Lung Cancer

Lung cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the lungs grow uncontrollably, forming tumors that can interfere with lung function and potentially spread to other parts of the body. Lung cancer remains one of the most common and serious types of cancer, affecting millions worldwide.

It primarily originates in the lungs’ cells and can spread to other parts of the body. Key risk factors include smoking, exposure to radon gas, and a family history of lung cancer. With advancements in diagnostic screening, lung cancer can be caught in its earlier stages, increasing the effectiveness of treatment.

What is the CyberKnife?

The CyberKnife system is a breakthrough in cancer treatment that uses advanced robotics and precise computer guidance to deliver high-dose radiation directly to tumors, minimizing damage to healthy tissues and reducing side effects.

For lung cancer, the CyberKnife’s real-time tracking and adaptive capabilities allow it to precisely target tumors, even as they move due to breathing. This precision ensures accurate radiation delivery to cancer cells while sparing healthy lung tissue, resulting in fewer side effects. The CyberKnife enhances the effectiveness of lung cancer treatment and improves the patient’s quality of life during and after treatment.

Benefits of the CyberKnife System

  • Non-Invasive Procedure: No incisions are required, eliminating the pain and recovery time associated with surgery.
  • Precision Targeting with Minimal Side Effects: The CyberKnife’s ability to precisely target lung tumors avoids harming healthy tissues surrounding the targeted area, which is common for causing side effects.
  • Alternative for Inoperable Tumors: The CyberKnife can be an effective treatment for inoperable or surgically complex cases as a non-surgical radiation therapy treatment.
  • Shorter Treatment Duration: Patients typically complete their lung cancer treatment in one to five sessions, lasting 30 to 60 minutes per session, compared to weeks of traditional radiation therapy.
  • High Success Rate: Clinically proven to successfully treat lung cancer for an improved quality of life after treatment.
