Understanding Brain Cancer
Brain cancer occurs when unusual cells in the brain start to grow abnormally, which can grow as benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
Brain tumors make up for 1 out of every 100 cancers found each year in the US. and this condition affects people everywhere, from kids to adults, but certain types are more common in certain age groups.
It begins when normal brain cells change due to genetic changes, exposure to radiation, or other risk factors, though the exact cause can sometimes be a mystery. Despite how brain cancers occur, it’s a complex illness that touches many lives in different ways.
Treating Brain Cancer With the CyberKnife
At Columbus CyberKnife, our approach to brain cancer treatment is fueled by our dedication to maximum results and minimal recovery for our patients. Our ability to do so lies in our advanced radiation therapy, the CyberKnife system, to meet the highest standard for treatment that also fits your needs for an improved quality of life.
With proven clinical results, the CyberKnife system represents a breakthrough in radiation therapy as a minimally invasive and non-surgical brain cancer treatment. The system uses advanced robotics and real-time imaging to precisely deliver high-dose radiation beams directly to the tumors while minimizing radiation exposure to healthy tissues and critical areas of the brain.
Unlike conventional radiation therapy, which uses fixed beams, the CyberKnife system uses thousands of beam angles to adapt to the exact location of the tumors.
Why the CyberKnife for Brain Cancer?
Preserving brain function during brain cancer treatment is one of the most important factors to consider during radiation therapy. Damage to healthy brain tissue, invasive surgery, and long treatment durations are common reasons for side effects and complications to occur during brain cancer treatment.
The CyberKnife reduces these risks that are commonly associated with traditional radiation therapy because of the ability to target brain tumors precisely.
In addition, the location of the tumors in the brain can be inoperable or surgically complex, making treatment more difficult or invasive. Complications like bleeding, infection, neurological defects, and damage to healthy tissues can occur with surgery.
The CyberKnife makes treatment possible for these cases because it does not require incisions or surgical intervention.
- Pinpoint Precision: Specifically designed to target brain tumors with minimal impact on healthy tissues.
- Non-Invasive: No incisions are required, reducing the risk of complications and infections.
- Shorter Treatment Times: Completed within 1 to 5 sessions that last only 30 to 60 minutes, compared to traditional radiation therapy which can require 40+ sessions.
- Minimal Side Effects: Reduced side effects enhance the quality of life during and after treatment.
