Image-guided radiosurgery (IGRS) systems like Trilogy enable precise treatment of small lesions. This advance promises to manage cancer as a chronic condition with targeted therapies.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Medical Physics
  • Radiosurgery

Background:

  • Advanced imaging, immobilization, and motion management are transforming radiosurgery.
  • Image-guided radiosurgery (IGRS) systems offer new possibilities for lesion treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the impact of integrated advanced technologies in radiosurgery.
  • To discuss the potential of IGRS in managing small lesions and metastatic cancer.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of advanced imaging (e.g., PET/CT) with radiosurgery systems.
  • Utilization of noninvasive immobilization, precise positioning, and motion management techniques.
  • Application of image-guided stereotactic radiosurgery for lesion eradication.

Main Results:

  • IGRS systems provide a practical means for routine identification and treatment of small, widespread lesions.
  • PET/CT scans aid in detecting lesions for subsequent radiosurgery.
  • Successful eradication of small lesions using image-guided stereotactic radiosurgery.

Conclusions:

  • The integration of IGRS represents a significant shift in cancer therapeutic strategies.
  • IGRS holds promise for managing cancer as a chronic disease through ongoing monitoring and treatment.
  • Future cancer care may involve regular checkups and Trilogy treatments for recurring metastatic lesions.
