Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 30: Not feeling up to the mark with complaints of frequent urination and discomfort, Mr. Prakash Malakar, a 58-year-old businessman, went ahead with a medical evaluation on the recommendation of Dr. Sridhar Papaih Susheela, a leading oncologist.
After undergoing a series of diagnostic tests, including PSA tests, an MRI, and a biopsy, he was diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer. Dr. Sridhar recommended CyberKnife treatment. It is a form of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) known for its precision in targeting tumors.
Dr. Sridhar explains, “The principal benefit of Cyberknife is its ability to focus radiation, minimizing damage to the surrounding areas precisely. Cyberknife ensures fewer side effects, is more effective, and improves patient comfort. It is a preferred treatment because it is non-invasive and does not require any surgical incisions. The real-time auto adjustment feature ensures it can adapt to any tumour movement.”
Ms. Vishaka Goyal, co-founder of ClinicSpots, a medical tourism and healthcare portal, states, ’Dr. Sridhar P S is one of the leading oncologists in India. He is dedicated to offering suitable treatment to help people recover from cancer. His acquired expertise in Cyberknife treatment has saved the lives of thousands of people, giving them relief and a new lease of life, too.
Mr. Prakash underwent screening sessions to map the tumor in three dimensions. The CyberKnife system then delivered high-dose radiation directly to his prostate tumor over several sessions, ensuring minimal exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.
The treatment lasted two weeks and comprised five sessions spread over two weeks. Mr. Prakash experienced minor side effects, including slight fatigue and mild urinary irritation, which resolved shortly after the completion of his treatment. Most importantly, there were no complications from the procedure. His quality of life was not affected either during or after the treatment.
The follow-up evaluations showed a significant decrease in his PSA levels, a positive indicator of the treatment’s success. Mr. Prakash continues with regular monitoring and maintains an active and fulfilling lifestyle, demonstrating the benefits of CyberKnife in managing and treating prostate cancer with minimal discomfort.
Speaking of conventional radiation therapy, the biggest issue is the side effects, i.e., damage to the surrounding tissues. Cyberknife is a robotic technology with a flexible robotic arm, It has a system that monitors the exact position of the tumour and ensures the radiation hits the target cells precisely. Cyberknife treatment does not require much waiting and is relatively less expensive.
Dr. Sridhar, an experienced expert in Cyberknife ensured successful treatment. Having attended to the tumour and completed the treatment, Mr. Prakash recovered well and got a new lease on life. It is no wonder that thousands of patients are opting for cyberknife treatment in their fight against the deadly disease – cancer.
