The CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System is a non-invasive alternative to surgery for the treatment of tumors anywhere in the body. The procedure delivers high doses of radiation to tumors with high precision. It offers alternative options for patients with inoperable tumors. It can also be used as an alternative to surgery.
The CyberKnife System uses image-guidance and computer controlled robotics to deliver multiple beams of high-energy radiation to the tumor from virtually any direction. Designed to treat tumors anywhere in the body with sub-millimeter accuracy, the CyberKnife System tracks the tumor's position, detects any tumor or patient movement and automatically corrects the treatment delivery. This outpatient procedure does not require anesthesia or invasive stabilizing frames. Most patients experience minimal recovery time and can return to normal activities almost immediately.
CyberKnife patient benefits:
- Pain-free
- Non-invasive
- No anesthesia required
- Outpatient procedure
- No recovery time
- Immediate return to normal activity
- No invasive head or body frame
- No breath holding during treatment
Treatment Delivery
A small radiation beam is delivered using 50 to 300 different positions around the patient to complete the treatment. The entire process is painless, and it typically takes between 30 to 90 minutes to deliver all radiation beams
