This is where you will find the most advanced technology, and a remarkable multidisciplinary team involved in the treatment of cancer and other tumors. You will learn, grow, be inspired, and contribute to the lives of patients on a daily basis.
The CyberKnife® System is the world's most
accurate robotic radiosurgery device
…an intelligent system designed to treat tumors
anywhere in the body with sub-millimeter precision.
Cyberknife® Details
Unlike traditional radiosurgery systems that can only treat tumors in the head and neck, the CyberKnife® System can treat both intracranial and extracranial tumors. In fact, the extracranial treatments currently represent more than 50% of CyberKnife® procedures in the U.S., including those of the spine, leg, prostate, liver and pancreas.
The system’s flexible robotic arm provides access to previously unreachable tumors, and because the CyberKnife® is noninvasive and so precise, tumors can be treated anywhere in the body without making a single incision. Using image guidance technology and computer controlled robotics, the system continuously tracks, detects and corrects for tumor and patient movement throughout treatment. CyberKnife® provides a viable option for patients previously diagnosed with inoperable tumors.
What Makes the Work and the Technology Unique
Clinical Accuracy: The CyberKnife® System has proven to be the most accurate, real-time, image guided robotic radiosurgery system in the world.
100% Frameless: The combination of the image guidance system and the multi-jointed robotic arm allows patients to be spared from the pain and inconvenience associated with the conventional head frame commonly fixed to the patient's skull.
Painless: The CyberKnife® System allows patients to be treated in a unique radiosurgery suite where painless "surgery" is performed with no incisions, no blood, no anesthesia and no recovery time.
Better Quality of Life, During and After Treatment: The simple outpatient procedure allows patients to undergo their treatment and immediately resume normal activities.
