CyberKnife® radiosurgery - Numerous applications:
Unresectable head and neck melanoma lesions
Melanomas arising in locations such as the paranasal sinuses are not always easily resectable. Although high dose conventional radiotherapy has successfully controlled some of these lesions, the many critical normal tissues surrounding these lesions limits the ability to give radiation doses potent enough to achieve a high probability of permanent control. CyberKnife® radiosurgery allows a very sharply marginated radiation intensification method, substantially increasing the dose to the melanoma lesion while minimizing the risk of radiation injury to adjacent critical tissues.
