WHAT IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GAMMA KNIFE AND CYBER KNIFE???

Gamma Knife and cyber knife: what is the difference?

This is a guest post by Amanda who writes on behalf of the San Diego Gamma Knife Center, a shared resource for the San Diego neurosurgical and radiation oncology community. we do not own any copyright for this post and this post is only for knowledge purposes. (source link)

Gamma Knife surgery has become one of the most popular and extensively tested types of what is known as “stereotactic radiosurgery”, or SRS. SRS (as depicted in the accompanying illustration) is a non-invasive medical procedure that uses highly focused radiation beams as a treatment for brain tumors and other kinds of intracranial maladies. Gamma Knife surgery has been used for treating trigeminal neuralgia, and the treatment of both benign and malignant brain tumors. But the Gamma Knife is not the only SRS system available. In recent years, the popularity and acceptance of radiosurgery procedures has led to the development of newer SRS systems. The most well known among these newer systems is the Cyber Knife. Both the Gamma Knife and the Cyber Knife can be highly effective in treating many of the same maladies, but they operate on patients in fundamentally different ways. Here is a brief comparison of the two SRS systems.

How They Work

During Gamma Knife surgery, patients undergo a CT scan and sometimes also an MRI scan prior to the actual procedure. These scans are used by a team of specialists to plan out the radiosurgery in minute detail. Once the planning is finished, the patient is brought over to the Gamma Knife table and his/her head is fixed onto a rigid head frame that automatically positions the target area of the brain in the spot where the radiation beams will intersect. The Gamma Knife system then delivers approximately 201 highly focused cobalt-60 source radiation beams into a single target area of the brain. The beams are delivered all at once, multiple times and in short bursts. The procedure can last as little as 30 minutes and usually a single session is all that’s needed to complete the treatment. 

Unlike the Gamma Knife system, which is designed exclusively for use in non-invasive brain surgery, the Cyber Knife system is designed to conduct SRS on lesions anywhere in the body, including organs that move with the patient’s respiration. It can do so because, unlike the Gamma Knife, it does not deliver the radiation beams to the target area simultaneously. Rather, it uses a single, high-energy photon beam that’s attached to a robot arm. The arm moves to different positions during the surgery, aiming at the target area from different angles. A head frame is not necessary either. Instead, patients are secured to the treatment table with a plastic mask that helps the Cyber Knife update the position of the skull in real time, allowing the robot arm to compensate for patient movement. More than one treatment session is sometimes required.

Accuracy and Efficiency

Both systems can be highly effective in the treatment of brain tumors and other intracranial maladies, but the Gamma Knife has a slight advantage when it comes to accuracy (0.5mm or less, as compared with the Cyber Knife, which can have an accuracy of almost 1mm). Also, the smaller size of Gamma Knife collimators makes it less likely that healthy brain tissue surrounding the target area will be damaged during surgery. The advantage of the Cyber Knife, however, is that its guided robot arm allows it greater versatility to treat other areas of the body and certain regions of the brain that are more difficult to treat using the head-frame method of the Gamma Knife.

MEDICAL INFORMATION - COLORECTAL CANCER

<Medical Information - Colorectal Cancer>

Colorectal cancer is a cancer from uncontrolled cell growth in the colon or rectum (parts of the large intestine), or in the appendix. 

1. Signs and symptoms
　- worsening constipation 
　- blood in the stool
　- loss of appetite 
　- loss of weight 
　- anausea or vomiting

2. Treatment methods
The treatment of colorectal cancer can be aimed at curation or palliation. The decision on treatment method depends on various factors, including the patient's health and preferences, as well as the stage of the tumour.

-early stage of cancer
:When colorectal cancer is caught early, tumor can be curative by surgery. 
-later stage of cancer
:when it is detected at later stages or metastases are present, the treatment often aim to palliation, to relieve symptoms caused by the tumour and keep the patient as comfortable as possible.

3. Prognosis
Survival is directly related to detection and the type of cancer involved, but overall is poor for symptomatic cancers, as they are typically quite advanced. 
Survival rates for early stage detection is about 5 times that of late stage cancers.

　* Priority : spouse → parents → siblings → cousins

2) Pre-test
① Essential test : 
　Cross-Matching-Blood test 
　(check up on biocompatibility between patient and donor)
② General tests : 
　Blood test, culture test, urine test, stool test, chest X-ray, 
　CT, MRI, ultrasonography, endoscopy, etc.

3) Hospitalization period
① Patient : 
　- 3~4 weeks hospitalization is required
　- Just after the surgery, 
　　treatment in an intensive care unit (ICU) is needed
② Donor : 
　- 8~10 days hospitalization is required

　**Continous follow up care is needed for 1 year after surgery
