Monterey, CA Cancer Treatment Receiving The Help Of Robotic Technology

The weapons that oncologists typically have against cancer have traditionally been surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.  A health care technology company based in India called Perfint has now developed a fourth—an image-guided robotic system.  Dubbed Maxio, it helps doctors get through delicate procedures.  For instance, it can help the doctor insert a needle into a tumor and then monitor the placement and effect on the tumor.  The company says its technology has now been used 1,500 times by renowned hospitals in the U.S. where it received regulatory approval last May.
