Karachi: The CyberKnife Stereotactic Radio Surgery System (SRS), the most advanced robotic radio surgery of cancer treatement has introduced in Pakistan like the US and Saudi Arabia which helps the poor people , available free of charge for the deserving.
According to reports, the CyberKnife System can rapidly and easily imitate this treatment in a noninvasive way as it can produce and paint complex doses in the prostate gland.
The technology is very useful in surgery for the treatment of tumours and completely cures cancer at stages one and two.
It can also be used to treat some stage three and four cancers to improve the patient’s quality of life.
The treatment mostly involves one session of 30 to 90 minutes, but in some complicated cases it may be fractionated up to five sessions.
The project was initiated by former JPMC director, Prof. Rashid Jooma, in March 2007. Mrs Ameena Adaya and her family were motivated by him and agreed to construct a dedicated building for the SRS. The ministry of health approved Rs789.64 million for the project but could not release the funds.
The cost of treatment in the US varies between $50,000 and $90,000 and up to $20,000 in India and countries closer to us, whereas in Pakistan the cost will be $1,000 per patient. The affording patients will pay for their treatment, but for the underprivileged, the PAF will raise money from the project’s supporters.
