Restore your health with stereotactic body radiation therapy!
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) is an advanced technology that allows for the precise delivery of high doses of radiation to tumors, minimizing the impact on healthy tissues. This method is ideal for treating lung, liver, pancreatic, kidney, and other organ cancers.
SBRT uses high-precision technologies to accurately target radiation beams at the tumor. The process includes the following steps
- Doctors use computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to precisely determine the location and size of the tumor
- The patient is immobilized in a stereotactic frame or another device to ensure stillness during the procedure
- Using a linear accelerator or another radiation source, doctors direct high doses of radiation to the tumor from various angles. This helps minimize the impact on healthy tissues
- During the procedure, imaging systems are used to monitor the tumor's position and adjust the beam targeting in real-time
The benefits of SBRT include
- SBRT allows for precise targeting of radiation to the tumor, minimizing the impact on healthy tissues
- SBRT enables the use of high doses of radiation, which can be more effective in destroying tumor cells
- SBRT typically requires fewer sessions compared to traditional radiation therapy, which can be more convenient for patients
- Due to its high precision, SBRT can reduce the risk of side effects, such as damage to healthy tissues
Recovery time can vary depending on the type and location of the tumor, as well as the patient's overall health. On average, recovery takes from a few days to a few weeks. Patients can usually return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks after completing the treatment course.
