HealthCare Global Enterprises Ltd, The Specialist in Cancer Care headquartered in Bangalore, India is the only dedicated cancer care network with quality care across 25 centres. It gives hope to over 100,000 new patients every year.
It is also the recognized leader in cancer care two years in a row, having established itself as a center for advance, complicated and recurrent Cancers. In recognition of our work we have been awarded leader of the year 2011 & 2012, the excellence in Indian Health Care Awards.
For over five years HealthCare Global Enterprises (HCG) has been defining the future of cancer care in India by designing, building and managing cancer centers with a steadfast vision: to transform cancer care environment by bringing core clinical services to one central place. The intent of this single place is to help patients achieve longer, better lives – and to improve cancer care one centre at a time.
At HealthCare Global Enterprises (HCG), we view each centre as a model of excellence, a place where physicians can achieve professional fulfillment and breakthroughs in patient care. We are committed to creating an environment that fosters the professional and personal achievements of each person who crosses the threshold of a centre. And by sharing these achievements across the network, the achievements of each centre, each physician, and each hospital are further heightened. Patients are the beneficiaries of these achievements – every accomplishment brings us one step closer to our ultimate goal of longer, better lives for cancer patients and their families.
HealthCare Global Enterprises (HCG) has grown rapidly and is currently a leader in cancer care, managing a network of 25 cancer centers that span Asia. Each centre is provided with a business system, management expertise and capital resources to bring patient focused, state-of-the art cancer care to new regions.

CyberKnife:
It is the world’s first non-invasive whole body robotic radiosurgery system available at HCG. CyberKnife offers patients new hope for the treatment of tumours and lesions, including ones that previously have been diagnosed as inoperable or untreatable with the existing technology. CyberKnife uses state-of-the-art real-time image guidance, similar to cruise missile technology, to precisely target tumours anywhere in the body with pinpoint accuracy and delivers high doses of radiation.
CyberKnife system features include:
Why CK a good treatment option:
First, the CyberKnife System uses image guidance software to track and continually adjust treatment for any patient or tumour movement. This sets it far ahead of other similar treatments. It allows patients to breathe normally and relax comfortably during treatment.
Second, some forms of radiosurgery require rigid head-frames that are screwed into the patient’s skull to minimize any movement. The CyberKnife System does not require such extreme procedures to keep patients in place, and instead relies on sophisticated tracking software, allowing for a much more comfortable and non-invasive treatment.
Third, unlike some radiosurgery systems, which can only treat tumours in the head, the CyberKnife System has unlimited reach to treat a broad range of tumours throughout the body, including the prostate, lung, brain, spine, liver, pancreas, and kidney.
And finally, the CyberKnife System’s treatment accuracy is unrivalled. Its ability to treat tumours with pin-point accuracy is unmatched by other radiation therapy and radiosurgery systems. The CyberKnife System can essentially “paint” the tumour with radiation allowing it to precisely deliver treatment to the tumour alone, sparing surrounding healthy tissue.
The CyberKnife Advantage
1. Non-invasive and pain-less
CyberKnife is a painless, non-invasive approach to radiosurgery that results in fewer complications than open surgery with comparable results
2. Treats inoperable tumours
Using a fully integrated robotic delivery system, the CyberKnife allows far superior reach and manoeuvrability to previously inaccessible and inoperable lesions such as lesions involving the spine, optic apparatus and pancreas. Robotic flexibility allows for isocentric as well as non-isocentric treatment.
3. Pin-point accuracy
With sub-millimeter accuracy, concentrated radiation beams, fired from a possible 1,200 distinct targeting positions, are directly administered to the tumour site, minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue
4. Significantly reduces treatment time
The treatment duration is reduced significantly from about 5-6 weeks to a maximum of 5 days with one session per day, lasting about 45-60 minutes.
5. Automatic movement tracking
CyberKnife’s image-guided robotic technology continually tracks patient movement and confirms tumour location prior to beam delivery, making it possible to treat lesions that move with respiration such as lung and pancreas tumours
6. No need for invasive body or head frame
Unlike conventional radio surgical technology, the CyberKnife system uses the skeletal structure of the body, rather than invasive metal frames and skull pins, as a reference point for identifying the tumour position throughout the treatment.
7. Higher radiation dose possible
Many patients who previously reached the lifetime dose limit of traditional radiation therapy to critical structures/tissues can receive additional treatment with CyberKnife because of its targeted treatment precision.
8. Little or no recovery time
Patients can return immediately to their normal routine after the session is over. The treatment can be performed as an outpatient procedure.
9. Minimises side effects
Since CyberKnife targets only the affected areas with a high degree of precision, there is minimal possible exposure to healthy cells by the radiation. Hence, side effects are minimised.
Cyberknife Technology
CyberKnife: How it works
A technology that’s used for cruise missiles is now being used to fight cancer. CyberKnife relies on image-guided robotic technology.
CyberKnife uses two cameras and infrared technology to continually adjust where it is sending the radiation.
It checks the position of the tumour, checks the position of the patient, adjusts for any movement — patient movement or tumour movement and then delivers the treatment accurately.
Unlike conventional radio surgical technology, the CyberKnife system uses the skeletal structure of the body, rather than invasive metal frames and skull pins, as a reference point for identifying the tumour position throughout the treatment.
The device allows radiologists to use higher doses of radiation without fear of damaging healthy tissue or causing uncomfortable side effects for cancer patients. Concentrated radiation beams, fired from a possible 1,200 distinct targeting positions, are directly administered to the tumour site.
Just like a surgeon’s knife would just treat the tumour and go around the tumour alone, CyberKnife radiation just focuses on the tumour itself.
CyberKnife is allowing doctors to treat tumours in hard-to-reach places like the brain, lungs, liver, prostate and spine.
The computer system is able to tell the robot not only where the tumour is, but where it is in relation to the breathing cycle. It allows the doctors to make very, very small treatment fields because the robot breathes with the patient. assessment and medical quote send your detailed medical history and medical reports as email attachment to Email : – [email protected] Call: +91 9029304141 (10 am.
