Asian Hospital and Medical Center (Asian Hospital) has achieved a pioneering milestone in Philippine healthcare by completing the country's first-ever CyberKnife® treatment, ushering in a new era of non-invasive, highly precise cancer therapy.
The historic procedure was administered to an 8-year-old child diagnosed with meningioma, a tumor that affects the protective linings of the brain and spinal cord. With accuracy down to the sub-millimeter, the treatment was successfully completed, marking a beacon of hope for Filipino families facing complex cancers.
CyberKnife® is the only system of its kind in the Philippines, offering a revolutionary form of image-guided robotic radiosurgery that targets tumors with surgical precision, without incisions, without pain, and with minimal impact on healthy tissue. It allows for outpatient treatments, faster recovery, and enhanced comfort, especially beneficial for pediatric and high-risk patients.
This groundbreaking milestone reinforces Asian Hospital and Medical Center’s commitment to advancing cancer care through innovation and compassion, making world-class treatment more accessible to Filipinos.
