Opening the Door
Opening the Door to New Treatments

Robotic flexibility, isocentric and non-isocentric treatment delivery, and dynamic motion compensation allow the CyberKnife System to treat a variety of tumors and conditions not treatable with traditional therapy:

  • Complex tumors requiring highly conformal treatments
  • Previously treated local recurrences
  • Tumors that move with respiration
  • Medically inoperable lesions

CyberKnife Program Team Approach
A successful CyberKnife program is based on active, ongoing collaboration between multiple medical experts and specialists. These specialists include surgeons, radiation and medical oncologists, physicists, radiation therapists, and hospital or clinic administrators. This team works together to develop and deliver complete and comprehensive treatment to patients.

“CyberKnife has expanded our oncology practice by offering whole body radiosurgery, allowing us to treat patients we were unable to treat before and improving the quality and efficacy of treatments being given today.”
