Huashan Hospital is one of the top hospitals in China for neurosurgery.
"CyberKnife, a radio-surgery system that uses AI to offer highly precise, non-surgical treatment for tumors and lesions anywhere in the body — including the prostate, lung, brain, spine, liver, pancreas and kidney, It also records automatic, real-time tumor tracking and motion management. The Huashan CyberKnife Center was one of the earliest to apply this technology. Achieving new level of precision has enabled them to deliver state-of-the-art treatments for a wide range of cancers and functional disorders. They have been testing this on otherwise inoperable brain tumors formed from metastasis. MRI imaging revealed an average reduction of 55.8 and 63.4 % in post-gadolinium and T2-weighted scans, respectively indicating rapid response to CyberKnife treatment for tumor shrinkage. All patients, with only one exception, showed significant clinical improvement in terms of neurologic symptoms. The project is still in Clinical trial phase."
More than 5,500 patient treated, with about 65 percent for intracranial tumours achieving an average reduction of 55.8 and 63.4 % in post-gadolinium and T2-weighted scans indicating rapid response to CyberKnife treatment for tumour shrinkage.
