that week Clinic Sainte Annewhich is part of the St Vincent’s Hospital Group yes Strasbourg (Bas-Rhin)inauguration of the Cyber Knife S7and radiotherapy system pioneering, which allows precisely target cancer cellsbut also improve patient comfort.
Radiation to destroy cancer cells
As remembered Hartmann Institute of Radiotherapy on their website“radiotherapy is a local treatment that also acts on the primary tumorTHE lymph node areas that on the metastasis“. “She uses radiations pour gradually destroy cancer cells through their structure DNAsomething to prevent from multiplier. Consequently, the the tumor either stops growing or is completely destroyed“The institution contributes.
Over the years, “radiotherapy has experience major technological developmentswith the appearance of “high” and “very high precision” techniques, thanks to the development of complex devices that are increasingly precise,” the organization continues.
The CyberKnife, a cutting-edge radiotherapy system
The CyberKnife system, which allows “ convergence of the irradiation beams towards the tumor with great precisionand therefore deliver high doses of radiation all in sparing surrounding healthy tissue ” as part of it.

And when we talk about “high precision”, we are more precisely talking about ” submillimeter accuracythat is less than the thickness of a 1 cent coin.
CyberKnife useful for different types of cancers
In a press release, St Vincent’s Hospital Group says “the CyberKnife S7 offers high precision that can be used to different types of cancer at a degree early or metastaticat the level of all parts of the body.
“This robot allows to treat areas that are not accessible by standard radiotherapy, for example, mobile lung tumorswhere the brain metastases. Thanks to artificial intelligence, the machine is able adapt in real time“, concludes the hospital group.
Better comfort for the patient
The second states that “the treatment non-invasive and painless : no invasive device is required to immobilize the patient’s head, no body frame, no need to obstruct breathing during the treatment, The patient’s comfort is increased during the session«.
In addition, “the sessions are with the CyberKnife less than with conventional radiotherapy, saving patients from trips to the clinic. In fact, the CyberKnife can deliver large ablative doses in a short time: 3 to 5 treatment sessions according to indication (compared to 20/25 sessions in conventional radiotherapy)”.
