Bengaluru, August 2, 2024 – Apollo Cancer Centre (ACC), Bengaluru, introduces South Asia’s first and most advanced
CyberKnife* S7™ FIM Robotic Radio Surgery System, offering revolutionary treatment of cancerous and non-cancerous tumors. The introduction of the CyberKnife (CK) System marks a transformative moment for cancer care. To further the cause of #Winning over Cancer, a mission statement that ACC binds itself to, the cancer centres of Bangalore and Chennai have also launched a first of its kind, CyberKnife Academia in partnership with Accuray. The Academia will provide advanced radiosurgery educational training to radiation oncologists, physicists, radiation therapists, and technologists from South Asia and India.

The CyberKnife® S7™ FIM System is a non-invasive treatment for cancerous and non-cancerous tumors and other conditions where radiation therapy is indicated. It is used to treat conditions throughout the body including brain, lung, spine, prostate and abdominal cancers, and may be an alternative to surgery for patients who have inoperable or surgically complex tumors. Patients previously treated with radiation, who have metastatic lesions or with recurrent cancers, can also benefit from CyberKnife treatment.

Mr. Dinesh Gundu Rao, State Minister for Health and Family Welfare, Govt. Of Karnataka, said, “Cancer can be treated with curative intent if detected early. Apollo cancer centers introducing the latest CK system is truly a watershed moment in Karnataka’s fight against cancer.
