Cancer is one of the growing serious health problems globally, the risk of which is increasing year by year. According to the report of the World Cancer Research Foundation, in the year 2020, more than 18.1 million (1.81 crore) people worldwide were victims of cancer. Innovation and technological development in the treatment of this serious fatal disease have made the process easier than before, but it is still very difficult and expensive for the common people.
Continuous research is going on regarding many types of medicines and therapies for the treatment of cancer. According to a report, CyberKnife surgery is being seen as revolutionary and promising in the treatment of cancer. Experts said CyberKnife has emerged as a ray of hope for cancer patients across the world. This process is expected to help patients suffering from various types of cancer.
Let us know what CyberKnife is and how it can help cancer patients.
First, know what is Cyberknife.
CyberKnife is a non-invasive, painless treatment procedure that may help reduce the risks associated with traditional surgery and help in oncology. Experts said that this robotic radiosurgery system delivers radiation to the tumors forming in the body in a highly precise and targeted manner, which not only destroys the cancer cells in a better way, but also reduces the risk of damage to the surrounding healthy tissues. also decreases.
Can be beneficial in many types of cancer
The trend of Cyberknife radiosurgery is increasing rapidly in India also. Cancer experts say that till now, even healthy cells have been damaged due to radiation during conventional treatment. CyberKnife Radiosurgery has changed the landscape of cancer treatment, providing a ray of hope to people battling complex conditions.
CyberKnife can deliver radiation in a short period with submillimeter accuracy, plus its imaging system (real-time imaging) ensures that radiation reaches the tumor precisely. It has shown effective results in treating various types of tumors including brain, spine, lung, liver, and pancreas.
What do health experts say?
Dr. Tejinder Kataria, radiation therapy expert and oncologist at Gurgaon-based Medanta Hospital, says, the impact of CyberKnife can prove to be a major revolution in the broader scenario of cancer care along with the treatment of patients. Most importantly, it provides precise cancer treatment options with low risks. Its ability to treat tumors provides better treatment to cancer patients.
We hope that it will yield even better results in the coming years and timely treatment of cancer will help reduce the mortality rate of this serious disease. There is also less risk of side effects during this treatment process.
Medicine to reduce side effects of cancer treatment
Researchers are also continuously researching to reduce the side effects of cancer treatment. According to a recent study related to this, experts from Tata Institute in Mumbai have achieved great success. According to media reports, the team of experts has made an unprecedented discovery in the treatment of cancer. The team claims that they have developed a pill that can help prevent cancer from recurring and reduce the side effects of cancer treatment by 50 percent. The special thing is that this medicine is also quite economical, once it gets approval from FSSAI, this tablet will be available for Rs 100.
