Nanavati Max Hospital gains an EDGE in cancer care

The system allows clinicians to treat a wider array of cancers with unmatched precision, flexibility, and efficiency

Nanavati Max Hospital has introduced the EDGE radiosurgery system, one of India's most advanced cancer treatment technologies, complemented by HyperArc, a cutting-edge stereotactic radiosurgery solution.

The Edge Radio Surgery System was inaugurated by actor Amitabh Bachchan in the gracious presence of Abhay Soi, Chairman and Managing Director, Max Healthcare.

The EDGE system, represents a significant leap in the delivery of radiosurgery and radiotherapy treatments. The system allows clinicians to treat a wider array of cancers with unmatched precision, flexibility, and efficiency. The EDGE system’s ability to deliver sub-millimetre accuracy in treatment, coupled with the efficiency of HyperArc’s automated radiosurgery, significantly reduces treatment times and enhances patient comfort.

Soi said, "At Max Healthcare we believe in being at the apex of cutting-edge technology. To further strengthen our range of offerings to combat cancer, we are introducing the state-of-the-art EDGE HyperArc machine at Nanavati Max Hospital. This is intended to complement our existing world-class Halcyon machine and will allow us to combat the entire range of diseases with higher precision and efficiency.”

Dr Kaustav Talapatra, Director, Radiation Oncology who will spearhead the programme said, “EDGE with HyperArc technology provides advanced radiosurgery treatment with specialised algorithms for automatic planning and delivery, optimised dose distribution, and better sparing of healthy organ tissue. With this technology, we will be able to treat multiple tumours at the same time, by targeting them all from a single point, called a ‘single isocenter.’ With no requirement of manual adjustments, patients receive a precise, faster and comfortable treatment.”
