Nordwest Clinic (Krankenhaus)
Michael Van Kampen
CyberKnife radiation for brain tumor is applied in Nordwest Radiotherapy Department. The procedure is performed by a radiotherapist.
During therapy, the apparatus irradiates a brain tumor with a high radiation dose. CyberKnife affects the neoplasm with 0.5 mm accuracy, so healthy tissues are not damaged.
Doctors conduct the procedure on an outpatient basis. Treatment with CyberKnife is painless. A patient stays conscious. A patient can return home just after 1 cycle of CyberKnife treatment for brain tumor.
