What is CyberKnife Radiosurgery?
CyberKnife radiosurgery is a painless radiation treatment that can be an alternative to open surgery in many cases. The CyberKnife System uses image-guided robotics to precisely and non-invasively destroy tumors and other lesions with multiple beams of high-energy radiation. Each individual beam is not sufficient to cause harm, its the cumulative effect that results in the lesion receiving a very high dose of radiation while preserving nearby normal tissue. Because of the sub millimeter clinical accuracy, CyberKnife radiosurgery, is precise enough that radiation can be matched to the shape of small, complex tumors located near critical structures. This ability allows the CyberKnife to treat many lesions that may be considered inoperable or untreatable with other radiosurgery systems -- giving many patients new hope.
