CyberKnife Radiosurgery is an advanced, noninvasive alternative to surgery for the treatment of tumors and lesions anywhere in the body. It's a new hope for patients who have been diagnosed with surgically complex or inoperable tumors and for anyone who is looking for an alternative to cancer surgery.
The CyberKnife system is different from other forms of treatment in that it is a painless, noninvasive radiosurgery that targets tumors anywhere in the body with sub-millimeter accuracy while minimizing the effect on surrounding healthy tissue. CyberKnife uses image-guidance technology and computer-assisted robotics to deliver multiple beams of high-intensity radiation directly to the targeted tumor from virtually any angle and any direction. The system continually tracks the position of the tumor, detects any tumor or patient movement and automatically corrects the treatment delivery in real-time.
