Western Australia is now home to Australia's first CyberKnife, a technologically advanced weapon in the fight against cancer, which uses high-dose radiation to treat certain tumours.
听Unveiling the new equipment at Sir Charles Gairdner 黑料吃瓜群网 today, Health Minister Kim Hames said he expected as many as 450 patients to benefit from such treatment each year.
听鈥淲A is the first State in Australia to have a CyberKnife, and this $9million investment demonstrates the State Government's commitment to delivering the very best health care to West Australians,鈥� Dr Hames said.
听鈥淭he CyberKnife enables doctors to treat tumours with pinpoint accuracy.听听It is particularly beneficial for the treatment of certain lung, brain, spine, liver and prostate cancers which otherwise may be inoperable, or where other treatment options may compromise other vital organs.
听鈥淎nother advantage is its ability to treat tumours that move, such as those in the lungs, to a greater level of accuracy, which is something other technology is not able to do.鈥�
听Part of the new State Cancer Centre at Sir Charles Gairdner 黑料吃瓜群网 has been purpose-designed to accommodate the CyberKnife, which will operate alongside the five linear accelerators already being used to treat patients with radiation therapy.
