CyberKnife®

CyberKnifeThe CyberKnife® represents an entirely new approach to radiosurgery. The CyberKnife is not a knife at all, but a sophisticated radiation tool that, like the surgeon’s scalpel, can effectively eradicate tumors and lesions. The CyberKnife can perform this surgery with:

  • No incision
  • No blood
  • No anesthesia
  • No pain
  • No recovery or rehabilitation time

Incorporating a compact, lightweight linear accelerator mounted on a robotic arm, the CyberKnife provides an unparalleled flexibility in targeting hard to reach, and small tumors and lesions. Advanced image guidance technology tracks patient and target position during treatment, ensuring accuracy without the used of an invasive stereotactic head frame. The CyberKnife with its Dynamic Tracking Software is cleared to provide radiosurgery for lesions anywhere in the body when radiation treatment is indicated. The CyberKnife has often been used to radiosurgically treat otherwise untreatable tumors or inoperable tumors. Moreover, this system treats tumors at body sites, most of which are unreachable by other stereotactic systems.

The CyberKnife is ideally suited for patients who:

  • Have a condition diagnosed as inoperable
  •  Are too young or advanced in age for frame-based radiosurgery
  • Want or need an alternative to traditional open surgery
  • Have received the maximum allowable dose of radiation
  • Do not want to undergo a treatment using a stereotactic frame
  • Do not want an additional operation to remove a recurrent or residual tumor
  • Can benefit from the newly evolving applications for conditions previously not considered for radiosurgery
  • Can receive radiosurgery treatment as adjunct therapy to traditional oncology care
