Question: Can Inoperable Brain Tumors be cured?
Answer: Definitely. In most cases where treatment of brain tumors is not possible alternative and more effective treatments are available in radiosurgery. Especially Cyberknife brain cancer treatment highly effective solution in such situations.
What are Inoperable Brain Tumors?
Those tumors of the brain that are critically located and when there exists a certain degree of risk in operating around the affected area such cases are declared inoperable by the surgeon.
Additionally, the presence of multiple tumors distributed over a certain area also renders the surgical tumor removal difficult and the case is deemed inoperable.
Why is Cyberknife the best solution of inoperable Tumors?
There are minimally invasive methods that may work in some cases, but it involves drilling pencil-sized holes into your skull. At our Cyberknife Center in India, we believe in delivering non-invasive (no surgery required) treatment using modern radiosurgery.
CyberKnife robotic stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) painlessly delivers highly precise beams of high-dose radiation to brain tumors and lesions, without incisions, hospitalization, or long recovery time. To understand why choose cyberknife, explore its advanced technology and patient-centered benefits.
How CyberKnife is different from Gamma Knife:
Gamma knife treatment requires a fixed, invasive frame for immobilization of the head and is a painful procedure as screws are drilled into the skull to fix the frame. On the contrary, Cyberknife is not invasive at all and a patient can listen to music while the treatment is in process. An additional advantage is that we can fractionate treatments and there is real-time imaging every 5 seconds throughout the treatment.
