Ocular Cancer Treatment in Austin
An ocular cancer diagnosis can be a cause for concern but getting the right treatment, at the right time, can save your eyes.
At Austin CyberKnife, we provide advanced ocular cancer treatment, leveraging the capabilities of the CyberKnife system.
This revolutionary technology offers a non-invasive option for patients facing ocular cancer, delivering high-dose radiation with unmatched precision directly to the tumor site.
What is Ocular Cancer?
Risk factors vary by type; for instance, uveal melanoma is associated with light eye color and sun exposure. Genetic factors, age, and occupational exposures also contribute.
Early detection plays a crucial role in the effective management and treatment of ocular cancers. Advanced diagnostic tools can help identify cancers at an early stage, where treatment options like the CyberKnife system can be most effective.
How the CyberKnife Can Help
The CyberKnife system stands out due to its robotic design, which offers true robotic delivery precision. With a Linear Accelerator (LINAC) mounted on a robot, the CyberKnife can deliver high-energy radiation from various angles, achieving sub-millimeter accuracy. This precision is particularly vital in treating ocular cancers, where avoiding damage to surrounding healthy tissues and vital structures is critical.
- Real-Time Motion Synchronization: Eye and eyelid movements present a unique challenge in traditional radiation therapy. The CyberKnife system incorporates real-time motion synchronization technology, adjusting the radiation beam in response to any movement of the eye. This capability ensures the radiation dose is delivered accurately to tumors within or around the sensitive structures of the eye, minimizing damage to healthy tissues.
- Non-Invasive and Painless Treatment: As a non-surgical solution, the CyberKnife system offers an alternative to traditional surgery, which can be particularly invasive and risky in the sensitive ocular area. Patients can often avoid the potential complications of surgery and enjoy a quicker, more comfortable recovery.
- Shorter Treatment Times with Fewer Side Effects: The precision of the CyberKnife system allows for higher radiation doses to be delivered in fewer sessions compared to traditional radiation therapy. This not only reduces the overall treatment time but also diminishes the side effects, enabling a better quality of life during and after treatment.
