Robotics at Campus Genolier

At Campus Genolier, state-of-the-art technology is used to significantly improve treatment outcomes in surgery and oncology. In particular, the integration of robotics into surgical procedures and the data-based personalisation of radiotherapy are opening up new dimensions in cancer treatment.

Interview with our expert

Oscar Matzinger, Medical Director of Radio-Oncology Swiss Medical Network and Professor of Practice at the Department of Health Sciences and Technology at ETH Zurich, is a highly regarded expert in the field of radiation oncology and plays a central role in the development and implementation of advanced technologies at Campus Genolier.

Oscar Matzinger has extensive experience in the integration of robotics and data-based approaches in radiation oncology. Through his work, he contributes significantly to the advancement of personalised cancer therap

Integration of robotics in surgery at Campus Genolier and its added value for radiation oncology/oncology

Robotics is used at Campus Genolier as an integral part of surgical innovations. In surgery, it enables more precise interventions, which is particularly important in oncology. For radiation oncology, robotics contributes to the accurate positioning and control of treatments, enabling more precise radiation delivery to tumour cells.

One example of this is that robotics allows us to track the tumour in real time during the treatment process, with inframillimetric accuracy. This ultimately enables control over the tumour that is equivalent to surgical precision – but without having to open the patient. This minimises the risk of damage to the surrounding tissue and significantly improves the overall efficiency of cancer therapy.

Data-based approaches to personalising radiotherapy

Data-driven patient care makes it possible to create personalised therapy plans based on patients' individual clinical profiles. In the field of radiotherapy, this can lead to more precise dose planning that optimises treatment outcomes and minimises side effects.

These new approaches allow us to continuously personalise and adapt the treatment plan based on the actual tumour response observed during therapy.

In addition, the data collected allows us to verify treatment outcomes and ensure the quality of patient care. This lays the foundation for continuous improvement processes to ensure that treatment standards are always of the highest level.

Synergies between robotics and data-driven patient care and the future of radiation oncology

The combination of robotics and data-driven patient care creates significant synergies at Campus Genolier. Robotics enable precise treatment procedures, while data-driven systems ensure that these treatments are optimally tailored to the individual patient.

Together, these technologies strengthen the efficiency and effectiveness of treatments. The future of radiation oncology will be in an increasingly technological and personalised approach, in which robotics, artificial intelligence and big data will play a key role.
