CyberKnife for Prostate Cancer: Precision Radiotherapy at Healthcare International
Introduction
At Healthcare International, we’re proud to offer
cutting-edge CyberKnife stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for
prostate cancer. This state-of-the-art system delivers high-dose radiation with
robotic precision, enabling treatment in as few as four to five outpatient
sessions. Our multidisciplinary team ensures not just survival—but quality of
life.
1. How CyberKnife Works
CyberKnife combines a linear accelerator mounted on a
robotic arm with real-time image guidance to track prostate motion and deliver
sub-millimeter accurate radiation beams. This adaptive targeting corrects for
natural organ movement, ensuring high-dose radiation hits only the
cancer—sparing the bladder, urethra, and rectum.
2. Efficiency & Convenience
Unlike conventional radiotherapy requiring 30–40 sessions,
CyberKnife completes treatment in just 4–5 visits over 1–2 weeks. Since
it's entirely outpatient and non-invasive, patients return home the same day—so
there’s no hospitalization, anesthesia, or downtime.
3. Long-Term Cancer Control
Clinical data show excellent biochemical-free survival
rates:
- 10-year
recurrence-free rate: ~100% for low-risk, ~84% for intermediate-risk
prostate cancer.
- For
low-risk patients, 10-year local control exceeds 98%.
These outcomes compare favorably to both conventional SBRT
and brachytherapy modalities.
4. Lower Toxicity & Better Quality of Life
Studies indicate CyberKnife leads to significantly fewer
high-grade genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) side
effects—approximately 50% lower rates compared to conventional
linac-based SBRT. Toxicities are mostly Grade 1–2; Grade 3 events are rare
(<2%).
Patient testimonials echo this: mild burning on urination,
urgency, or temporary urgency symptoms (“latchkey syndrome”), which typically
resolve within weeks, leaving minimal long-term impact.
5. Real Experiences Reflect Benefits
Real-world user experiences reinforce satisfaction:
“I had 5 treatments over about 3 weeks… sub‑millimeter
precision… while expected side effects like burning urination resolved within
weeks.”
— ProstateCancer case report.
“One year post-treatment: PSA dropped to 0.2 ng/ml, no incontinence or ED—and even more intense orgasms reported.”
— ProstateCancer testimonial.
