A Doctor's Journey: Bringing CyberKnife® Closer to Home
The Philippine Star
|September 03, 2025
Training in Switzerland deepened my appreciation for the remarkable capabilities of the CyberKnife System. I witnessed firsthand how this advanced technology delivers unparalleled precision—capable of tracking and targeting tumors even as they move with the patient's breathing. Its ability to deliver higher doses of radiation in fewer sessions marks a major leap forward in cancer care.
By focusing more radiation on the tumor while minimizing exposure to healthy tissue, CyberKnife significantly reduces side effects and enhances quality of life. For example, in properly selected prostate cancer cases, treatment can be completed in just five sessions instead of the traditional 38.
That experience was not just professional training, but part of my continuing education as a physician—deepening my expertise, broadening my perspective, and preparing me to bring these innovations home. We're proud to offer this cutting-edge treatment exclusively to Filipino patients at Asian Hospital and Medical Center—bringing world-class cancer care closer to home.
As a radiation oncologist at the Asian Cancer Institute, I'm incredibly proud to share a groundbreaking advancement in cancer care now available in the Philippines.
Asian Hospital and Medical Center has introduced the CyberKnife System, the country's first and only robotic, image-guided radiosurgery platform. This state-of-the-art technology is set to redefine precision in cancer therapy.
