CyberKnife Radiation Therapy is a Non-invasive Cancer Treatment also known as SBRT Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy. FDA approved in 2001 and having treated millions of patients worldwide, CyberKnife is a robotic radiosurgery system used to treat tumors and other conditions with high-doses of targeted radiation.
The CyberKnife uses a robotic arm to deliver radiation beams from hundreds of angles, directly to the tumor site, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue and nearby vital organs.
CyberKnife can be used to treat tumors anywhere in the body, and other conditions, including:
Brain, Prostate, Lung, Spinal, Head, Neck, Metastatic and Liver tumors, Pancreatic and Ovarian cancer, plus nerve disorders like Trigeminal Neuralgia and Arteriovenous Malformations (AVM)
Because the doses of radiation are stronger and targeted many fewer treatments are required than traditional radiation
It's a great option for patients who aren't candidates for surgery, or don't want surgery
