The Cancer Center and Robotic Radio Surgery Institute
The Cancer Center and Robotic Radio Surgery Institute has the highest technology, a prestigious medical faculty and specially trained staff. It offers services:
- Stereotactic Radio Surgery–CyberKnife ®
- The most advanced technology in the world. This robotic surgery allows incredible precision for certain diagnosis. Robotic surgery treatments are painless, require no incisions and there is no bleeding. You don't need anesthesia or a stereotactic frame. The recovery period is practically non existent allowing you to return to your routine the same day. This system treats the area in only 1-5 sessions, with minimal side effects. Some of the conditions treatable with this technology are: malignant and benign brain and spinal tumors; lung, pancreatic, kidney, liver and prostate cancer.
- Radiation Oncology - Elekta Synergy Linear Accelerator
- Computer controlled digital linear accelerator with the capacity to produce an electron beam or high-energy X-ray. The electron beam can be molded to the form of the tumor. The system obtains computerized tomography and uses them to correct on a daily basis even the most miniscule variations. 3D-CRT, IMRT y IGRT.
- Invasive Radiology
- Percutaneous biopsy guided by sonogram and CT scan; Chemoembolization of tumors in the liver, kidneys and bile prostheses, among others.
- Brachytherapy
- Procedure in which seeds with radioactive material are implanted directly in the prostate gland cancer. Little radiation reaches nearby organs and does not require surgery.
- Oncological Surgery
- We perform every type of conventional oncological surgery as well as other procedures including: laparoscopic spleen removal, laparoscopic colon cancer
- Adult Hematology / Oncology
- We offer the most advanced treatment for malignant tumors. We offer intravenous and oral chemotherapy, as well as modern therapies guided by monoclonal antibodies. We have portable infusion machines for patients to continue their treatment at home.
- Pediatric Hematology / Oncology
- Diagnoses and treatment of pediatric hematological and oncological diseases. We offer the following treatments: ambulatory chemotherapy, iron infusion, marrow aspiration, lumbar puncture for diagnosis and treatment among others.
- Nuclear Medicine
- CT-Scan Big Bore
- This equipment has the capacity to hold patients up to 500 pounds. Some of the conditions treated are: Thyroid Cancer and hyperthyroidism and palliative metastron therapies (Sr-89).
What is CyberKnife® Radiosurgery?
First in Puerto Rico, Latin America and the Caribbean to incorporate CyberKnife ® Technology. CyberKnife® is a precise, painless, non-invasive radiation treatment that can be an alternative to open surgery in certain cases. It is the ultimate innovation in the field of cancer treatment. CyberKnife® treatments are so precise, radiation beams can be shaped to small and complex shaped tumors near critical structures. This ability helps protect healthy tissue thus allowing treatment too many lesions which may be considered inoperable or untreatable. www.accuray.com
