CyberKnife: Advanced Non-Surgical Cancer Treatment
The CyberKnife System is a cutting-edge robotic radiosurgery technology that provides non-invasive, highly precise radiation treatments for both malignant and benign tumors. It is commonly used to treat tumors in the brain, lungs, abdomen, prostate, head and neck, and other areas that may have been previously radiated. This innovative system offers hope to patients with inoperable tumors by delivering targeted treatments with extreme precision.
How Does CyberKnife Work?
The CyberKnife System uses image-guided robotic technology to deliver precisely targeted radiation that effectively removes tumor cells. With its pencil-thin radiation beams, CyberKnife can treat small and complex tumors while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues and vital structures. One of the key benefits of CyberKnife is its ability to deliver high doses of radiation in as few as five sessions or less, compared to several weeks required by traditional radiation therapy.
Patients receiving treatment with CyberKnife benefit from:
- Non-invasive, outpatient sessions that do not require surgery or anesthesia
- Avoiding surgical complications
- Improved tumor control with precise targeting
- Less risk to healthy tissues and organs
- Minimal recovery time after treatment
- Reduced number of radiation therapy sessions
- Shorter overall treatment duration
