5. CyberKnife + Lung Cancer
Prior to stereotactic body radiosurgery treatment with CyberKnife, small
tissue markers known as fiducials are implanted in or near the tumor to help
the CyberKnife pinpoint the tumor location throughout each treatment, so
that the radiation beams can be locked on the tumor.
About a week later, patients are fitted with a custom body mold of soft
material that they lie on during treatments. The fitting process is painless.
The treatment process includes:
I. Consultation appointment
II. Pretreatment procedures
III. CyberKnife treatment
IV. Follow-up
