Apollo Hospitals Introduces Groundbreaking Non-Invasive ZAP-X Brain Tumor Treatment in South Asia

For over 40 years, Apollo Hospitals has been at the forefront of healthcare innovation, consistently pushing boundaries to deliver unparalleled care. Continuing this legacy, Apollo has now introduced ZAP-X, a revolutionary technology for brain tumor treatment.

This groundbreaking solution is set to transform the landscape of neurosurgery in South Asia.

What Is ZAP-X?

ZAP-X is a cutting-edge gyroscopic radiosurgery system designed to precisely target and treat brain tumors. Unlike traditional methods, ZAP-X utilizes a groundbreaking self-shielded, gyroscopic linear accelerator design.

This innovation enables a comprehensive attack on tumors from all around the head, offering a new level of precision and effectiveness with minimal radiation exposure.

Key Advantages of ZAP-X

1. Enhanced Precision: ZAP-X precisely targets the affected area, eliminating the need for exposing the entire region, as required in traditional methods like craniotomy.

2. Non-Invasive Treatment: ZAP-X delivers highly focused radiation directly to the lesion, avoiding the need for opening the skull as in traditional surgical approaches.

3. Shortened Treatment Duration: While traditional brain surgeries last 3-4 hours, ZAP-X completes treatment within a single session lasting no more than 30 minutes.

4. Daycare Convenience: ZAP-X allows for a daycare procedure, enabling patients to return home post-treatment, unlike traditional surgeries requiring 4-7 days or more of hospitalization, and without the necessity of anesthesia.

Clinical Success with ZAP-X

ZAP-X demonstrates high success rates, ensuring effective control and relief for various conditions with minimal long-term side effects:

• Vestibular Schwannomas: Achieves over 95% control rate in 10 years with minimal facial or trigeminal side effects.
• Meningiomas: Shows an exceptional 99.4% control rate in 5 years for small, defined tumors.
• Trigeminal Neuralgia: Provides complete pain relief in 70% of cases, maintaining relief rates of 40-55% at three years and 25% at ten years.

ZAP-X’s precision offers targeted solutions for various brain-related conditions, including:

1. Benign Intracranial Tumors: Including acoustic neuroma, pituitary adenomas, and meningiomas.

2. Brain Metastasis: Treating tumors traveling to the brain from other body parts.

3. Arteriovenous Malformations (Cerebral AVM): Resolving blood flow disruptions caused by vessel entanglement.

4. Trigeminal Neuralgia: Providing relief from severe facial pain associated with nerve conditions.

Apollo Hospitals proudly stands as the first center in South Asia to adopt this revolutionary solution, reinforcing our dedication to advancing healthcare through innovation. With ZAP-X, we continue to redefine the boundaries of medical excellence, ensuring that patients receive the best possible care without compromising their quality of life.
