The CyberKnife® Robotic Radiosurgery System is the world’s only robotic radiosurgery system designed to treat tumors throughout the body in one to five treatments. CyberKnife® treats tumors with laser-like precision and is unmatched by other radiation therapy and radiosurgery systems. Unlike traditional radiosurgery, CyberKnife® tracks the tumor in real time with continual image guidance, adjusting for breathing and correction for movement. As a result, the CyberKnife® precisely delivers the radiation to the tumor, sparing healthy tissue. CyberKnife® is a safe, non-surgical treatment of both cancerous and non-cancerous tumors anywhere in the body, including the prostate, lung, brain, spine, liver, pancreas and kidney.

The latest CyberKnife® S7™ System, a fully robotic radiotherapy device combining speed, precision and motion synchronization technology for the treatment of tumors throughout the body, is now available at the J. Phillip Citta Regional Cancer Center at Community Medical Center in Toms River. The system uses true robotic precision and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven Synchrony® technology to track, detect and adapt for tumor or patient movement in real-time¾throughout the cancer treatment delivery. The CyberKnife® S7™ system enables our team to effectively treat a wider range of tumor types more quickly than ever with greater precision.

CyberKnife® is also available at Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston.

RWJBarnabas Health together with Rutgers Cancer Institute, the state’s only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, is at the forefront of cancer research, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of routine, rare and complex cancers through the transformation of discoveries into clinical practice.

Our multidisciplinary team of nationally recognized physicians and researchers provide the most advanced cancer treatments available including innovative clinical trials and sophisticated radiation therapy techniques, close to home.
