India, June 16 -- Radiation therapy has long been an effective and valuable modality for fighting cancer, but recent advances have taken its benefits to a whole new level. What we are talking about here is CyberKnife - a highly precise and non-invasive robotic radiosurgery system used to treat cancerous and non-cancerous tumours.

Unlike in conventional radiation therapy, where radiation is typically delivered over several weeks and may require larger treatment margins to account for patient movement, robotic stereotactic radiation systems are designed to deliver highly precise radiation doses directly to the target area while minimising exposure to surrounding healthy tissues, which can significantly change the treatment journey for many...
