CyberKnife treatment of brain metastases in Costa Rica
Introduction
Brain metastases are one of the most frequent complications in cancer patients. Today, there are highly precise, non-invasive alternatives such as CyberKnife robotic radiosurgery, which allows for the treatment of brain lesions without the need for open surgery.
At the Costa Rican Cancer Center - CyberKnife, we have state-of-the-art technology and a highly specialized multidisciplinary team to evaluate each case individually.
Who are candidates for this treatment?
This treatment may be an option for patients who present with:
Single or multiple brain metastases
Small or moderately sized lesions
Patients who are not candidates for surgery
Cases where the aim is to preserve neurological function
Patients who have already received previous radiotherapy
Each case must be evaluated by a specialized team.
What does brain radiosurgery involve?
Radiosurgery (RS) is a non-invasive procedure that delivers high-precision radiation directly to the lesion.
It does not require incisions
No hospitalization required
It is performed on an outpatient basis
High submillimeter precision
