Head and neck cancer, a prevalent malignancy affecting vital organs like the larynx, pharynx, mouth, nasal cavity, and salivary glands, poses a major challenge to healthcare service providers. While traditional treatments like surgery and radiation therapy have been effective in many cases, the emergence of new technologies has opened fresh avenues for precision-based cancer care. Cyberknife radiosurgery, a noninvasive technique that delivers highly focused radiation therapy to tumors with exceptional accuracy, has emerged as a promising treatment option for head and neck cancer.
