Hygieia Hospital ¡ª 100 Patient Cases You Should Know
This is a real clinical journey of a patient with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Because of the tumor’s sensitive location and the high surgical risks, the patient was concerned about the physical burden of conventional treatments. After multiple consultations, the patient ultimately chose Helical Knife (5th-generation Gamma Knife) stereotactic radiosurgery for precise radiation therapy.Treatment Highlights:
Non-invasive — no surgery required
No anesthesia needed
Outpatient basis — no hospitalization
After several short treatment sessions, the tumor progressively shrank until complete remissionThis advanced technique delivers high-dose, focused radiation directly to the tumor, while maximally sparing surrounding healthy tissues. It offers minimal side effects, faster recovery, and is particularly suitable for delicate and critical regions such as the lungs.
In the end, the patient successfully completed the treatment. Follow-up imaging confirmed complete clearance of the lesion, with excellent therapeutic outcomes. The patient returned to normal life with markedly improved overall well-being.

Hygieia Hospital ¡ª 100 Patient Cases You Should Know
This is the treatment journey of a middle-aged male patient with lung cancer.
Initially, he thought it was just a persistent cough. However, when blood-streaked sputum appeared, he decided to undergo further investigations. The diagnosis revealed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the left upper lobe, with the tumor located adjacent to the pulmonary vein, classifying it as a high-risk lung cancer.
Because the tumor was tightly adherent to major blood vessels, surgical resection carried extremely high risks. The multidisciplinary team ultimately recommended 5th-generation Helical Knife (Gamma Knife) stereotactic radiotherapy as the primary treatment modality.
Treatment Highlights:
Entirely non-invasive — no surgery, no anesthesia
Several short, precise radiation sessions safely avoided the pulmonary vein and other critical structures
Follow-up imaging showed significant tumor regression until complete resolution, with highly encouraging resultsPost-treatment, the patient’s cough and discomfort gradually improved, and he was able to return to normal life. Most importantly, he shared:
“I’m glad I didn’t delay seeking treatment, and I’m even more grateful that I chose the right therapy.”
