Información general
Primer y único sistema robótico de radiocirugía con precisión submilimétrica para tratamientos en cualquier parte del cuerpo, brindando seguimiento en tiempo real del tumor y sincronización con la respiración del paciente.
CyberKnife® es una alternativa no invasiva, indolora y no quirúrgica para tratar tumores en todo el cuerpo. De esta forma, se evita que el organismo reciba altas dosis de radiación que suelen dañar gran cantidad de tejido sano circundante al tumor.
Es ideal para pacientes que no desean someterse a una cirugía con tumores inoperables o quirúrgicamente complejos.
Su avanzado software permite el seguimiento de tumores en movimiento, especialmente los localizados en los pulmones, y disminuye la radiación que reciben los tejidos sanos a niveles mínimos.
Permite que los haces de radiación puedan llegar al tumor desde más de 1200 posiciones diferentes, concentrando la radiación sobre el objetivo, mejorando la experiencia del usuario y del paciente.
- El CyberKnife® ofrece más opciones de tratamiento, proporcionando una nueva esperanza a los pacientes con tumores inoperables o a aquellos que rechazan la cirugía.
- Efectúa un seguimiento continuo de la posición del tumor, detecta la localización de los mismos y corrige el movimiento del tumor y del paciente a lo largo del tratamiento.
- Administra una dosis alta de radiación con precisión submilimétrica, minimizando el daño al tejido sano circundante.
- Este tratamiento es indoloro y no requiere la utilización de anestesia, eliminando eficazmente el riesgo de complicaciones tales como infecciones, hemorragia y otros efectos colaterales de la cirugía tradicional.
- Menor tiempo de recuperación en comparación con la cirugía abierta tradicional, ya que se realiza de forma ambulatoria.
- En el caso de los tratamientos intracraneales, los pacientes reciben la radiación de forma cómoda, gracias a la ausencia de un marco estereotáxico, y por lo tanto sin dolor.
- El paciente puede recibir su tratamiento en un número de sesiones que oscila entre 1 y 5.
- Seguimiento continuo del tumor
Los tumores suelen moverse durante la aplicación del tratamiento con radioterapia. Aún estando el paciente inmovilizado, movimientos imperceptibles como el de la respiración o, en el caso de tumores en la próstata, el movimiento de la misma, pueden ocasionar variaciones en la posición del tumor durante la administración de la radiación, generando que el tejido sano circundante sea irradiado. El CyberKnife® posee un software que facilita el seguimiento continuo del tumor, la detección automática del movimiento, y la corrección de la posición del brazo robótico, readecuando la dirección del haz de radiación sin tener que interrumpir el tratamiento o reposicionar al paciente. No es necesaria la colocación de fiduciales ni marco estereotáxico.
- Tratamiento no coplanar
A diferencia de los aceleradores lineales (LINAC) convencionales que entregan tratamientos coplanares, el CyberKnife®, gracias a su manipulador robótico, permite realizar tratamientos no coplanares. Los haces de radiación son entregados desde diferentes planos, pudiendo atacar al tumor desde distintos ángulos.
- Flexibilidad para entregar haces no isocéntricos de radiación
CyberKnife® es el único sistema capaz de ofrecer tratamientos isocéntricos y no isocéntricos, proporcionando tratamientos más conformados a lesiones con formas irregulares, preservando el tejido sano circundante.
- Sistema de seguimiento fiducial
Permite realizar el seguimiento de tumores extracraneales a través del seguimiento de marcadores fiduciales implantados. - Sistema de seguimiento XSight® Spine
Permite realizar un seguimiento preciso y automático de todas las regiones de la columna vertebral, desde la primera cervical hasta la sacra. - Sistema de seguimiento XSight® Lung
Se utiliza en conjunto con el XSight® Spine para llevar a cabo la alineación del paciente. Durante el tratamiento es posible utilizarlo con el sistema Synchrony® para realizar un seguimiento de los movimientos del tumor debido a los patrones de respiración del paciente. - Sistema de seguimiento respiratorio Synchrony®
Se utiliza para supervisar la respiración del paciente y regular la posición del LINAC, de modo que coincida con el movimiento respiratorio del tumor. - Sistema adaptable de adquisición de imágenes in Tempo™
Se ha diseñado especialmente para representar los tipos de movimientos que se encuentra en general al administrar radiación a la próstata. - Multiplan MD Suite
Permite a los usuarios realizar una preparación previa a la planificación y una revisión posterior a la planificación de los planes de tratamiento. Proporciona acceso a los datos del registro del paciente desde la base de datos del sistema CyberKnife® para permitir la carga remota de estudios de imágenes y tareas de planificación para uso del médico. - Sistema de posicionamiento de pacientes RoboCouch®
Es una camilla robótica controlada por una computadora para posicionar a los pacientes mediante un manipulador con 6 grados de libertad. - Cambiador robótico del colimador XChange®
Es un sistema controlado por computadora para intercambiar automáticamente los colimadores en el manipulador del sistema, tanto antes como durante el tratamiento.
Tratamientos
- Antes del procedimiento:
El paciente se realiza una tomografía computarizada de alta resolución, para determinar el tamaño, forma y la localización del tumor.
La tomografía es digitalizada y transferida a la estación de trabajo del sistema CyberKnife®, donde se planificará el tratamiento.
A continuación, un médico calificado utiliza el software CyberKnife® para generar un plan de tratamiento. El plan se utiliza para dirigir la dosis de radiación deseada al tumor, limitando la exposición de los tejidos sanos circundantes a la radiación. - Una vez en el centro de atención:
El paciente se posiciona cómodamente en la camilla de tratamiento.
El CyberKnife® se mueve lentamente alrededor del paciente para administrar la radiación hacia el tumor desde las distintas posiciones.
Cada sesión de tratamiento tiene una duración de entre 30 y 90 minutos, dependiendo del tipo de tumor a tratar.
Los tumores que se mueven con la respiración suelen generar mucha incertidumbre con respecto a la precisión del tratamiento. El Synchrony Respiratory Tracking System permite detectar dinámicamente los tumores que se mueven con la respiración, posibilitando un tratamiento continuo mientras que el paciente respira normalmente. De esta manera se evitan las técnicas de compensación para movimientos respiratorios.
La próstata puede moverse de manera impredecible más de 5mm en solo 30 segundos. El CyberKnife®, con su guía visual continua, permite brindar al paciente tratamientos precisos y seguros en la próstata, evitando afectar órganos críticos como el recto, la vejiga y la uretra.
Es el único sistema capaz de administrar a la próstata, de forma no invasiva, dosis equivalentes a HDR con precisión submilimétrica. La posibilidad de realizar tratamientos no coplanares permite aumentar la dosis con un control preciso.
El CyberKnife® es el primer y único sistema que puede realizar radiocirugía en todo el sistema nervioso central, extendiéndose a todos los niveles de la columna, desde las cervicales hasta las sacras, sin la necesidad de utilizar marco estereotáxico o fiduciales.
Permite tratar lesiones benignas, malignas, vasculares e intracraneales funcionales, y periféricas extremas, con una preservación de la visión y de la audición ampliamente mejorada.
El CyberKnife® ha revolucionado la radiocirugía intracraneal sin marco estereotáxico, siendo el único sistema con guía visual continua durante la administración de la radiación, que detecta constantemente el movimiento intracraneal, y corrige automáticamente el posicionamiento del manipulador robótico para seguir emitiendo radiación con exactitud.
La columna vertebral puede moverse hasta 4mm durante un tratamiento de 15 minutos, aunque el paciente se encuentre inmovilizado. Mientras que los sistemas de IGRT (Radioterapia Guiada por Imágenes) no tienen en cuenta estas variaciones y son limitados por la rotación del gantry, el sistema CyberKnife® proporciona exactitud y precisión durante todo el tratamiento.
