MADISON, Wis., March 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Accuray Incorporated (NASDAQ: ARAY) announced today that new data presented at the 2024 Radiosurgery Society Meeting in Chicago, Illinois support the use of the CyberKnife® System in the treatment of high-risk and recurrent prostate cancer. The studies expand on years of published clinical follow-up with a large number of prostate cancer patients with various stages of disease, as well as with those who were previously treated with radiotherapy – supporting the system's versatility and value to medical care teams.

Key Points:

"An extensive number of peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts have been published reporting on CyberKnife prostate SBRT efficacy and tolerability.
The system's precision enables clinicians to confidently treat the prostate gland, which is situated near the sensitive bladder and rectum, with SBRT.
Provide a viable option with "a low incidence of short-term genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) toxicities" for reirradiation of locally recurrent prostate cancer2.
For example, if the prostate moves during treatment the CyberKnife® System detects this movement and synchronizes the treatment delivery beam to the tumor's new position in real-time.

He says the change has been “extraordinarily rapid”, particularly since the mid-20th century, a time known as the great acceleration.
An Anthropocene Working Group was established in 2009 to explore whether the Anthropocene should be declared an official geological epoch, different to the Holocene, which began around 11,700 years ago.
A new epoch would mean that a distinct change could be seen in the fossil record with geological strata distinctive from those below and above it.
