Radio Knife: A Stereotactic Radiosurgery Treatment and Diagnostic Center for Brain and Spine
in Central Luzon
Abstract
In the past years, several modern procedures for the treatment of brain disorders have
been made available in the Philippines especially installed at Cardinal Santos Medical Center.
These have given Filipinos easier access to procedures that they have otherwise gone abroad for
and all the incidental expenses for travel and accommodations to think of.
One such procedure is the Gamma Knife Radiosurgery pioneered by the Philippine
technology that was difficult to access abroad. It was created to become a Center of excellence
patient’s admission, a stereotactic frame is attached to the patient’s head, then neuroimaging
The procedure is accomplished within a very brief time frame. It is usually performed as
an outpatient basis with no associated convalescence. Most patients resume their normal
Nevertheless, this study will propose the pioneering of the first Gamma Knife here in the
heart of Central Luzon to give wider health service especially the Kapampangan as per approval

The Gamma Knife history has no invention or discovery was ever produced in a vacuum.
Firstly there must be a perceived unfulfilled need. From need to concept to fruition in the form of
a useable new method is painstaking and time consuming. This part of the process may involve
useful but sub-optimal new ideas or methods which require repeated adaptation. Moreover, a
treatment perceived imperfectly initially, may be improved by totally different persons from
those who first initiated the new notions and the honour may well go to the discoverer of the
successful adapted method rather than to the original creative thinker who initiated the
In 1951 Leksell wrote a seminal paper on radiosurgery which was a statement of concepts
all of which were remarkably well understood. The first cases treated with an available industrial
X ray machine attached to the Leksell arc and frame were successful enough to stimulate further
efforts to improve the method. Later, Leksell and the physicist Börje Larsson performed
radiobiology experiments carried out on rabbits and goats to determine and quantify the effects
of focused fine beam radiation on brain. The aim was destroy normal brain with a view to
treating functional disease in the brain using focused radiation. There was dissatisfaction with
proton radiosurgery and it became accepted in Sweden that proton beam radiosurgery was too
complex and impractical. A new machine was needed. It would have a static design.

Stockholm over 100 km for the first treatment in Studsvik. The treatment was a technical
success. The new machine was transported to Sophiahemmet (a private Stockholm hospital) and

installed. A further 8 patients were treated and assessed. For 14 years Stockholm was the only
location where a Gamma Unit was in use. During this period a variety of indications were
treated.
A new Gamma Unit was made this time with round collimators more suited to the task in
hand. All in all 762 patients were treated during this time with 209 vascular, 342 tumor and 177
functional indications. There were also 34 miscellaneous cases. All these cases were treated
underestimate the demand for new Gamma Units. When two of his students wanted machines in
respectively Buenos Aires and Sheffield, there was no possibility for manufacture in Sweden.
Arrangements were made for a Swiss company to make two machines which were installed in
Eventually, since the demand was there, arrangements were made to continue
manufacture in Sweden by Elekta, the company which still makes them today. When these
matters were settled, the first USA model was installed in Pittsburgh. This became a crucial
development, partly because the machine was now established in the United States, but also
because of the quality of the publishing from Pittsburgh which was of the highest quality, honest
and believable and thus a potent impulse in the spread of Gamma Knife treatment. Following
growing acceptance of Gamma Knife radiosurgery there were a number of debates about the

The original model and that introduced into the USA was the U model where the patient
was inserted into the machine inwards and upwards, using hydraulics. A new simpler machine
was devised called the B model where the patient simply moved in and out, but there was still
the problem of changing helmets. Then the C model was introduced, with a robot called the
automatic positioning system (APS) which permitted the patients position to be moved
automatically. However, the helmets still had to be changed when collimators of different sizes
were required.
Finally, an entirely redesigned model called Perfexion was introduced where there were
no helmets and the patient once placed in the machine would be treated completely following a

According to the experts, Gamma knife radiosurgery may have a lower risk of side
However, Gamma Knife radiosurgery doesn't involve surgical incisions, so it's generally
less risky than traditional neurosurgery. In traditional neurosurgery, there are potential

alternative to conventional surgery and radiation. It may be used when the risks of general
surgery and anesthesia are high or it may be used with conventional therapies. The Gamma

previously determined by MRI or CT. The procedure takes 15-40 minutes and is performed

primary brain tumors expected to be diagnosed this year, including glioblastoma the disease. The

only educating yourself before you take the plunge into surgery, surgery mixed with radiation,
radiation alone or "watch and wait". This is radiation too. This procedure can only be used on
tumors 3 cm and smaller. The radiation is given as a one-time shot dose. It is a more precise
radiation but can only be used in the head and neck regions. Once you use this type of radiation,
they will not treat the same area again with it if it grows back.
According to Dr. Darwin Cruz, Family Medicine, Gamma Knife treatment is one of the
most useful nonsurgical technology that the man ever created. It is useful for my patients
According to Dr. Antonio Morales, Internal Medicine, The treatment lasts 1-5 days
only. It gets within a hair line fracture of the tumor therefore preventing much damage to
surrounding tissue and nerves. If the tumor ever grows back, it can be repeated down the road on
that area. It has a new technology that follows the tumor so if you move, the machine stops, re-
adjusts and continues the treatment. The claim is, there is not much recouperation after
this. People may return to work the next day after treatments.
According to Dr. Alfred Tan. Neurosurgeon, CSMC ( One of the pioneers in Gamma
knife in the Philippines) Gamma Knife radiosurgery may have a lower risk of side effects
compared with others types of radiation therapy. However, Gamma knife radiosurgery doesn’t
involve surgical incisions, so its generally less risky that traditional neurosurgery. In traditional
surgery, there are potential complication associated with anesthesia, bleeding and infections.

Table 12
In the book The Actor Training Reader by Mark Evans, at the end of the nineteenth (19th)
century, actor training across Europe was basically a matter of apprenticeship, family tradition
and learning on the job. A few private schools existed, along with a limited number of national
interpretations of canonical plays, together with basic principles of articulation, demeanor, social
dance and stage combat. The private schools were often family businesses, run by former actors
or actresses, as actually were many of the companies that those leaving the Schools joined. Early
innovations in the first decades of the twentieth (20th) century need to be viewed in the light of
the massive social upheaval caused by events such as First World War and the Russian
Revolution. These events generated forceful artistic responses, and spurred a generation of
theatre makers into a rejection of what had gone before and a desire to re-examine the
fundamental principles of their practice. A reader, by its very nature, can never give more than a
snapshot of the practitioners that provide its contents. Furthermore, although the texts are for the
most part in the practitioners’ own words, they have been chosen by someone else. Thus, they
are presented to us partly, at a distance, and from one particular view point. Some may contend
In the book The Actor, Image, and Action by Rhonda Blair, all the actor has is herself. As
established by her body, intellect, feeling, and history. The actor’s process is, at its core,
subjective and characteristic, involving the negotiation of fleeting impulses and inexplicably
rising instincts and perceptions, grounded (one hopes) in solid preparatory work with the text and
staging. There are critical areas of technical mastery in voice, movement, and text work to be
addressed by the actor, but the emotion of the work must be a deeply private engagement with
STEREOTACTIC RADIATION TREATMENT AND DIAGNOSTIC CENTER
the material. The languages of acting that have been developed over the last century reflect this
characteristic and difficulty. Some approaches are effective, some are extensive with
mystification and a lack of specificity, and it is not uncommon for an approach to have elements
of both. The problem of the particular nature of the actor’s process is compounded by the
In the book Starting Drama Teaching (Third Edition) by Mike Fleming, in the context of
a lesson intended at creating drama, it is a shorthand way of saying that the end result has been
successful, that there has been emotional engagement applicable to the topic, that there has been
sufficient tension and focus in the work. We could go on to say that if the drama has been
successful, the beginners are likely to have enhanced their understanding both of drama and of
the subject matter or content. The dissimilarity between what is ‘reasonable’ and ‘rational’ is
very helpful here. It is interesting that the conception of 'rational planning’ came to have
reductive logic. It places excessive faith in systems and structures without recognition that
experience is not suppressed so easily. A ‘reasonable’ approach to planning would recognize that
teachers need to know what particular activities are pointing to achieve and would acknowledge
that broad aims are essential in giving long-term direction to the work. It would also
acknowledge that the origination of objectives need not serve to demarcate learning outcomes.
In the book Acting One/Acting Two (Fifth Edition) by Robert Cohen, first, you almost
certainly still need work on these same basics: strengthening your pursuit of goals, expanding
your premeditated ranges, freeing yourself from psychological and social inhibitions, making
more exciting acting choices, and creating more encouraging expectations that will draw from
STEREOTACTIC RADIATION TREATMENT AND DIAGNOSTIC CENTER
you your most powerful and dramatic performing abilities. And, second, you need to improve
expert acting technique. Technique is a word most American actors concern with mixed feelings.
On the positive side, technique is simply what differentiates fine artists or craftsperson in any
field. On the negative side, an empty technique – technical ability without feeling or person-to-
real thing. Acting technique should never be unfilled. Playwright-director George Bernard Shaw
said that “stage technique…is the art of creating the audience believe that real things are
happening to real people”, and so it is. Convoying the text of Acting One are many quotations
In the book Acting Is Believing by Kenneth L. Stilson, Larry D. Clark, and Charles
McGaw (Twelfth Edition), according to Constantine Stanislavski, whose theories have subjective
every generation of actors since the early twentieth (20th) century, “There are two kinds of truth
and sense of belief in what you are doing. First, there is the one that is produced automatically
and on the plane of definite fact, and second, there is the scenic type, which is equally truthful
but which originates on the plane of creative and artistic fiction”. Factual truth loses significance.
You must seek scenic truth, an emotional or innermost truth that comes from deep within your
being and rushes through your body to find obvious expression. With every human being you
produce, you must find truth in “your” memories, imageries, and emotions, because it defines
“your” connection with every person, thing, and event in this new reality. Only realism exists.
You cannot help but have confidence in the truth of reality. With the advantage of Stanislavski’s
Magic If, however, you can append your disbelief and enter into this new world with greater
interest than you believe in your own reality. Believing in the world of “If” lets you to part from
your own plane of truth and move into your secondary reality as a new person.

Through the glass walls of Vetro, these photographers throw their visual essays for the show,
entitled “Present Progressive: Visual Narratives on Morphosis”, which adheres to the theme of
construction and the never ending creative process. The theme may sound broad and all-
encompassing, but the photographers’ interpretations are diverse and poignant nonetheless. The
exhibit contains a dispersal of memories and attempts to commemorate both the past and the
STEREOTACTIC RADIATION TREATMENT AND DIAGNOSTIC CENTER
“continuous now”. Here, the exhibitors have put out a construction of themselves and their
approaches to their art, as well as their place in time and space, surrounded by nature and objects.
Through the years, PETA has endured as one of the top theater organizations in the country. In it
is almost fifty (50) years in the industry, the company has developed a gathering creative theater
artists who believe in PETA’s vision of empowering a citizenry through theater arts. It has also
constructed a network of partners who value culture as medium for change, and believe that
theater can be a tool for education, social change and development. In 1971, PETA became the
UNESCO-ITI (International Theater Institute) Center in the Philippines, and in the same year it
systematized the first Third World Theater Festival, held in the 400th year of the foundation of
the City of Manila. Through its motivated leadership and the contribution of its dedicated
members and staff, PETA mastered its triple bottom lines of artistic excellence, relevance and
viability while remaining true to its vision of using theater as a tool for education, social change
and development.

site should be in central urban areas with adequate urban infrastructure and public
services, such as in the central districts of city or in central areas of districts. The site
must have a full access to electricity, water and communication utilities. (Rose Laude
Site Topography.
The site should be fairly level with some topographic relief that can provide opportunities
for learning area development. In some communities, choice of level property may not be
available, so consideration should be given to the side that best meets the programmatic
needs of the facility. The site should be relatively flat and can hold all the possible use.
The site topography should be from zero percent to five percent (0%-5%) to be cultivated
safety and require for a commercial and institutional. (Rose Laude 2018, personal

should plan to be a sustainable development and also to have a better aesthetic quality of
the surroundings. The site landscapes should also contribute to the overall character of
Drainage.
Sites with good drainage are easier to develop and maintain. Good drainage reduces the
chance of water or ice collecting around a facility which could cause undermining, decay
and/or frost heave leading to structural damage. It could also make general use and
occupancy of the site difficult. The site drainage should be based on natural features. The
site should be at least five-hundred (500) meters from a natural drainage. The terrain
must allow easy movement of water away from the site and the drainage should at least
about thirty (30) meters above sea level. The site should have definite drainage with no
unnecessary water coming from adjacent properties. (Rose Laude 2018, personal
communication, 7 February).
There should be near recreational establishments available near the site and can get there
by walking that can provide opportunities to use the outdoors as an extension of the site.
The site should contain or is adjacent to outdoor recreation/nature area. Vacant lots, open
must be available for existing uses. The site should be adjacent public parks to contribute
to the potential of the project being commercial. (Rose Laude 2018, personal
communication, 7 February).
