Why Do Top Hospitals Recommend CyberKnife? Detailed Explanation of Its Three Major Advantages in Treating Prostate Cancer
As a common high-incidence cancer unique to men, prostate cancer often develops silently to an advanced stage without obvious symptoms. When many prostate cancer patients seek medical treatment, they not only focus on the treatment method itself but also worry about whether the treatment process and subsequent recovery will bring inconvenience and embarrassment to their lives and work.
So, is there a non-invasive way to effectively treat prostate cancer?

Minimally Invasive Surgery for Lung Cancer: A Comprehensive Overview
Minimally invasive surgery For Lung Cancer has achieved major breakthroughs. Assisted by thoracoscopy, it only requires a small incision of 3 cm. It reduces the need for blood transfusion—95% of patients do not require transfusion. The operation time is shortened to within 2 hours, and the hospital stay is reduced from two weeks to one week. It improves the radicality of the surgery, increasing the 5-year survival rate by 6% and significantly enhancing the quality of life.

After Varian: No More Debate Over CT-Linac
After Varian launched HyperSight and it was implemented clinically, how did opinions from the frontlines change?
If you ask a radiologist: "Can I use HyperSight to replace the department’s 256-slice CT for hospital-wide cardiac coronary angiography screening?"
Answer: No need. Physical structure dictates high-end spiral CT’s dominance in ultimate SNR. However, in the context of tumor diagnosis, this gap is clinically imperceptible.

Embarrassing Troubles for Men… One Surgery Solves Two Problems
Understand the Truth About Gynecomastia
Many patients initially think they simply have fat on their chests. They try fitness and dieting but find that the "fat lumps" persist stubbornly. In fact, gynecomastia is caused by benign hyperplasia of mammary glands or adipose tissue, while simple obesity (pseudo-gynecomastia) is due to fat accumulation.

Unveiling Multiple Myeloma: From "The Great Mimicker" to a Controllable Chronic Disease
Multiple Myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematological malignancy worldwide and the third most common in China. It originates from plasma cells in the bone marrow, which are "immune warriors" that normally synthesize antibodies to fight infection. When these cells become malignant, they proliferate uncontrollably, crowding out healthy cells and destroying bone and kidney functions. Due to its insidious onset and diverse symptoms, the misdiagnosis rate is as high as 50%

3 Types of Cancer Radiation Therapy: Which Cures? Which Relieves Pain? Understand to Avoid Wasting Money
Early-stage, radiation-sensitive tumors: Curative radiation (goal: cure).
· Need to shrink tumors preoperatively or eliminate residuals postoperatively: Adjuvant radiation (goal: prevent recurrence).
· Advanced cancer with severe pain, bleeding, or compression: Palliative radiation (goal: reduce suffering).
Radiation therapy is personalized. Consult doctors/medical physicists for tailored plans to avoid detours.

Proton Therapy: A Mature and Safe Technology
Unlike traditional radiotherapy, which employs X-rays or gamma rays, proton beams exhibit a unique energy deposition pattern in matter. They deliver a lower dose as they enter the body and release most of their energy at a specific depth, known as the Bragg Peak. This Bragg Peak effect allows proton therapy to precisely concentrate a higher radiation dose on the tumor while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues, achieving targeted "precision bombing" to cancer cell
