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 can be performed in only one week. Or less. Using real-time tumour tracking, the Raypilot® System gives clinicians the precision and accuracy needed to be able to concentrate the dose into 1-5 sessions. No surgery, no general anaesthesia. And no hospital stay necessary.
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 15-20 minutes, and patients normally 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 can be delivered in 1 to 5 sessions, each lasting around 15-20 minutes. There is no surgery and no general anaesthesia. The patient normally 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 the radiotherapy treatment.
For reference: radical prostatectomy requires general anaesthesia, 1–2 nights in hospital, Catheter for 7–21 days.

Benefits of using the Raypilot® System
-
Protecting the Urethra
The Raypilot Hypocath visualizes the urethra during treatment and planning, thereby enabling the physician to spare the urethra from the dose as much as possible.
-
Consistent Conditions, Every Session
Reproducible bladder filling enables consistent conditions every session.
-
The Planned Dose, in The Right Place
Continuous, real-time tracking enables precise radiation delivery to the target. If the prostate moves beyond the predefined tolerances, the user can stop the beam.
