Treat Cancer in Five Days

Unlike traditional radiosurgery, CyberKnife®’s cutting-edge technology can track tumors in real time with continual image guidance, adjusting for breathing and correcting for movement. As a result, CyberKnife® precisely delivers radiation to the tumor, sparing surrounding healthy tissue.

Prior to CyberKnife®, a high-resolution CT scan is used to determine the size, shape and location of the tumor. This image data is transferred to the CyberKnife® Robotic Radiosurgery System, where the radiation oncologist precisely plans treatment to match the desired radiation dose to the exact tumor location.

CyberKnife®’s robotic arm delivers high-dose radiation beams in an arrangement of unique angles, rotating around the patient while he or she lays comfortably on a treatment bed. The tracking technology and beam delivery system work together to pinpoint the exact target or tumor, helping to ensure a high success rate.
