Radiation Treatment for Prostate Cancer
Start Monday.
Done by Friday.
Prostate cancer treatment used to mean months of hospital visits. With SBRT and the Raypilot® System it takes one week. Or less. Using real-time tumour tracking, the Raypilot® System gives clinicians the precision and accuracy needed to concentrate the dose into 1-5 sessions. No surgery, no general anaesthesia. And no hospital stay.
A Full Course of Treatment,
Completed in a Single Week.
From first session to last, SBRT with The Raypilot® System typically takes one week. Each treatment session in the linac room lasts approximately five minutes, and patients go home the same day.
Planning Visit
A CT scan of the treatment area is performed to plan the radiation delivery. It takes about 30 minutes, and patients can go home straight after.
Treatment Sessions
Treatment is delivered in 1 to 5 sessions, each lasting around 15 minutes. There is no surgery and no general anaesthesia. The patient goes home after every session.
Total Duration
From first session to last, treatment is typically completed within a single week.
Follow-Up
The doctor will schedule routine check-ups after treatment. No hospital stay is required at any point during the process.
For reference: radical prostatectomy ~2 hrs under general anaesthesia, 1–2 nights in hospital, Catheter for 7–10 days, 4–6 weeks recovery. Source: Cancer control comparable to surgery (PACE-A, European Urology 2024).
How the Raypilot® System Improves Treatment
-
Protecting the Urethra
The Raypilot Hypocath visualizes the urethra during treatment and planning, thereby enabling the physician to spare the urethra from the highest dose during treatment.
-
Consistent Conditions, Every Session
Reproducible bladder filling and catheter positioning ensures consistent conditions every session.
-
The Right Dose, in The Right Place
Continuous, real-time tracking ensures precise radiation delivery to the target. If the prostate moves beyond the predefined margins, the physician can stop the beam.
