in treatment with CyberKnife are actually use more than200 entries of radiation in the patient’s body

Spain, 2012-may La DRA. IcÃar Santa – Olalla, Radiophysics of the radiotherapy and radiosurgery Centerrobotic CyberKnife the Group IMO in Madrid has taken part in the first course of SBRT Radioterapia Estereotáxicathe Spanish School of radiation oncology, EEOR, extracranial held in Barcelona the days 7 and 8 ofMayo.To the length of these two days,and on behalf of the IMO group, DRA. Santa-Olalla has offered differentpresentations on the technical description of the CyberKnife system and, in particular,on the system of monitoring respiratory Synchrony, as well as differentclinical cases treated with radiotherapy robotic CyberKnife such asa patient’s with prostate cancerand several patients with injuries alreadythey had previously been irradiated (in lung, spine and prostate).
in his first speech the DRA. Santa-Olalla, focusedto know to all oncologistsOncologists and physicists present en estas jornadas the precision of the Synchrony system, which allowsmonitor in real time all the gating of the patient. By itspart, the DRA. Santa – Olalla referred to the advantages of treatment withCyberKnife, the Synchrony system performs tracking of the movement of the tumordue to respiration i.e. is capable of knowing at all times of thetreatment where is the lesion and correct this shift. In this waythe dose is always done in a very precise manner,being able to minimize the amount of radiated healthy tissue around theinjury ”, explained Dr Santa-Olalla, that continued, this is done, in addition, effortless for the patienti.e., that the patient is comfortably lying on the treatment table,breathing freely, unlike what happens with other systems wherethe patient must force the breath or be pressed with systems ofabdominal compression ”.
this advantage, no doubt for the comfortof the patient during treatment, joins the precision achievedin a treatment made with this system, as warned the DRA.Santa-Olalla, in all a radiotherapy treatment planning, isimportant to administer the doses prescribed by doctors within thevolume of the injury, minimizing as far as possible, the dose that comes to thehealthy tissue. This is achieved, depending on the equipment and technical employee withdifferent number of fields of radiation that are directed toward the body of thepatient. From the point of view of a treatment planning ofCyberKnife are actually use more than 200 entries of radiation in the bodythe patient, managing them from almost any angle. Thisget the dose to focus within the lesion and get very littledose to the tissue around ”.
