Overview
The liver performs numerous vital functions in the body. That is why, when treating liver cancer, it is critical to avoid causing as much damage to normal liver tissue as possible. Advanced radiation techniques, such as stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) delivered with the CyberKnife S7 System, gives doctors the option of treating the tumour effectively while minimizing radiation to nearby healthy tissues.
Key CyberKnife S7 Treatment Advantages
- Non-invasive and non-surgical
- Excellent outcomes for inoperable tumours
- Treatments are usually completed in one to five treatment sessions on consecutive days.
- During treatment, most patients can resume normal activities.
What Exactly Is The CyberKnife S7 Treatment?
The CyberKnife S7 System offers a non-surgical, highly precise option for liver tumours. Its robotic arm and real-time motion synchronization continuously track respiratory motion and adjust beam delivery so radiation is concentrated on the tumour while sparing healthy liver tissue. This precision reduces side effects and helps preserve liver function.
Treatments are typically short (often 1-5 sessions) and suit patients who cannot undergo surgery, have unresectable tumours, or need a bridge to transplantation. Recovery is quick, and most patients can resume normal activities soon after treatment.
