Due to the flexibility of the robot arm, the CyberKnife system has several hundred different directions of irradiation in each body area. The image-controlled robot controller of the system slowly moves the CyberKnife to the precalculated positions, from which the tumor is irradiated for a few seconds at a time. ) [58] => Array ( [id] => 58 [parent_id] => 0 [title] => F) important! 1) a well-considered order of surgical treatments by consulting specialists 2) sequential treatment technique [link] => https://eucapaco.net/f-important-choice-of-a-sequential-operation-technique/ [description] => Reinforcement of radiotherapy by chemotherapy: In simultaneous chemoradiotherapy, the radiation is combined with chemotherapy at the same time; in sequential treatments, this is done sequentially.

The aim of the parallel administration is to exploit both the cytotoxic properties of radiotherapy and chemotherapy since there are different mechanisms of action in the cell. In addition, some cytostatics enhance the special effect of radiotherapy. These substances are called radiosensitizers. In addition, the treatment time is shortened by the combination compared to the sequential procedure. ) [57] => Array ( [id] => 57 [parent_id] => 0 [title] => G) important! choice of good rehabilitation clinics [link] => https://eucapaco.net/g-important-choice-of-good-rehabilitation-clinics/ [description] => Oncological rehabilitation is a highly effective treatment plan for patients who have already completed their primary cancer therapy.

Oncological rehabilitation helps cancer patients who have completed the primary treatment to restore the quality of life and performance. The oncological rehabilitation after surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy, in order to regain strength, to be able to process the experience and to regain a new quality of life. The primary goal of rehabilitation is the reduction of symptoms. A rehabilitation stay lasts for about three weeks. With advances in modern oncology, ever-improving treatment options, and increased life expectancy, the number of patients who are cured after treatment or living with chronic cancer is growing. ) [56] => Array ( [id] => 56 [parent_id] => 0 [title] => H) important! to hear two second medical opinions of cancer specialists [link] => https://eucapaco.net/h-very-important-to-hear-two-second-medical-opinions-of-cancer-specialists/ [description] => Obtaining a second medical opinion can help avoid misdiagnosis or simply give the patient a better feeling by dispelling doubts about a finding.

Especially before major operations, one should not be afraid to get a second or third opinion. Getting a second opinion is also in terms of insurance: Preliminary investigations are cheaper than unnecessary operations. In particular, prior to serious therapeutic measures, it is worthwhile to ask a second doctor for advice, for example, when it comes to cancer, to choose from different treatment options. In general, it is advisable for patients to take a confidant with them to talk to the doctor. Obtaining a second medical opinion, of course, makes sense only if the second doctor has extensive experience in the relevant field. ) ) )
