September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month: Millions of men are alive today due to early detection and advances in prostate cancer treatment.
When detected and treated early the disease is most often cureable.
However, prostate cancer may cause no symptoms in its early stages, which is why it’s vital to get screened.
A simple PSA blood test can detect the disease while it’s still early enough to treat.
Plus, if it’s detected early, you have more treatment options than if it’s found at an advanced stage.
The most technologically advanced treatment is CyberKnife, also known as Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy or SBRT.
Decades of published studies show exceptional outcomes, with 97% cure rates & few if any side effects.
Plus it’s done in only 5 treatments compared to 45 with other types of radiation therapy so patients say their quality of life was not effected during and after treatment.
The CyberKnife is a robotic system that uses real-time image guidance delivering radiation beams from hundreds of angles. The robot moves and bends around the patient’s body, targeting the tumor from hundreds of different angles.
The CyberKnife system is the only device designed that
compensates for prostate movement.
The prostate gland can move unpredictably through the course of treatment, making the ability to detect and correct for motion critically important.
It’s unmatched precision allows the CyberKnife to deliver high doses of radiation without damaging surrounding healthy tissue and nearby organs.
