Gamma knife to kill tumors in the invisible, for patients with malignant tumors, only 20% of patients suitable for surgery, and the use of an invisible “gamma knife” to treat tumors, not only does not hurt other tissues and can eliminate the disease pain. “‘Gamma knife’ is a fusion of modern computer technology, stereotactic technology and surgical techniques in one therapeutic device, which uses a beam of gamma rays geometrically focused, concentrated irradiation lesions, one-time, lethal destruction of the target tissue, and the dose of rays through the body’s normal tissue is sharply reduced. The dose of radiation passing through normal human tissue is drastically reduced. Thus, its treatment irradiation range and normal tissue boundaries are very obvious, the edge like a knife cut, so people figuratively called ‘Gamma knife’.” Gamma knife irradiation tumor three stages of change by the “Gamma knife” high dose irradiation of the target generally undergoes three stages of change: first, the target of necrosis, acute inflammatory response; followed by the formation of glial scar, showing a chronic inflammatory response; finally, the formation of glial scar, inflammatory response disappeared. This also shows that “Gamma Knife” is not the same as a surgery is to remove the lesion, it is only to make the lesion inactivation, wrinkling or scarring, disappearance, maximize the tumor local control dose, destroy tumor cells, while maximizing the protection of normal tumor surrounding tissues and adjacent organs.
Classification of gamma knife treatment system Radiation therapy is one of the important means of comprehensive tumor treatment, and can cover the treatment of almost all types of malignant tumors. Nowadays, the 5-year overall survival rate of malignant tumor patients has reached 50%, of which radiotherapy is credited. Gamma stereotactic radiation system, this system includes head “Gamma knife” and body “Gamma knife” treatment.
Head Gamma Knife can treat diseases Head “Gamma Knife” can treat such as pituitary tumors, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, trigeminal nerve fibroma, glioma, auditory neuroma, meningioma and brain metastases and nearly 20 kinds of head tumors, in addition, can also cerebrovascular diseases such as arteriovenous malformations, functional diseases such as Parkinson’s, neurological diseases such as neurodegeneration The effective treatment of diseases.
Body Gamma Knife treatment diseases Body “Gamma Knife” for primary lung cancer and lung metastases, pancreatic cancer, rectal cancer, prostate cancer, cervical cancer, gallbladder cancer, primary liver cancer, kidney cancer and dozens of body malignant tumors treatment, hemangioma, islet cell tumors and other benign tumors also have very good effect. The most advanced linear gas pedal and “Gamma Knife” treatment system in China will be put into use soon, which undoubtedly brings the gospel of precise radiation treatment for tumor patients.
