CyberKnife is a type of radiation therapy used to treat tumors, including brain tumors, spinal tumors, prostate cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, and other conditions. Unlike traditional radiation therapy, CyberKnife delivers highly targeted radiation beams from multiple angles, using advanced imaging and robotic technology to precisely track and adjust for the tumor’s movement in real-time, even during breathing or slight patient movement. This approach allows for higher doses of radiation to be delivered to the tumor while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. CyberKnife treatment typically involves a few sessions, often completed within a week, and is considered an outpatient procedure, meaning patients can return home shortly after each session. CyberKnife is known for its accuracy, effectiveness, and reduced side effects compared to traditional radiation therapy. It can be used as a primary treatment or in combination with other therapies, depending on the specific type and location of the tumor and the patient’s overall health. As with any medical treatment, the suitability of CyberKnife therapy is determined on a case-by-case basis by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals. #cyberknifeuae #cancercentredubai #radiationoncologydubai

Hipec and Pipac are both treatments used in oncology, but they are quite different in terms of application and purpose. 1. HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy): HIPEC is a procedure used to treat advanced abdominal cancers, particularly those that have spread within the abdomen. During HIPEC, heated chemotherapy drugs are circulated throughout the abdomen after the visible tumors have been removed through surgery. The goal is to kill any remaining cancer cells and prevent recurrence. 2. PIPAC (Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy): PIPAC is a newer technique that involves delivering chemotherapy drugs directly into the abdominal cavity in the form of an aerosol under pressure. This is done through laparoscopic surgery. PIPAC is typically used for peritoneal metastases, which are cancerous spread to the lining of the abdominal cavity. In summary, HIPEC is used after surgical removal of visible tumors to kill remaining cancer cells, while PIPAC is a minimally invasive technique for delivering chemotherapy directly into the abdominal cavity for peritoneal metastases. Each has its own indications and considerations based on the patient’s condition and the type of cancer being treated. #hipecdubai #pipacdubai #bestoncologysurgeonuae

Raising awareness about the vital role of the Liver Primary liver cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the liver. Cancer that forms in other parts of the body and spreads to the liver is not primary liver cancer. The liver is one of the largest organs in the body. It has two lobes and fills the upper right side of the abdomen inside the rib cage. The main functions of the liver include the following: to make bile to help digest fat that comes from food to store glycogen (sugar), which the body uses for energy to filter harmful substances from the blood so they can be passed from the body in stools and urine Signs and symptoms of liver cancer These and other signs and symptoms may be caused by adult primary liver cancer or by other conditions. Check with your doctor if you have any of the following: a hard lump on the right side just below the rib cage discomfort in the upper abdomen on the right side a swollen abdomen pain near the right shoulder blade or in the back jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes) easy bruising or bleeding unusual tiredness or weakness nausea and vomiting loss of appetite or feelings of fullness after eating a small meal weight loss for no known reason pale, chalky bowel movements and dark urine fever
