CyberKnife is a game-changer in cancer treatment, providing a precise, non-invasive option that stands apart from traditional surgery and radiation.
With its advanced imaging, robotic precision, and adaptable design, CyberKnife can successfully treat a wide range of tumors, including those in hard-to-reach areas.
FDA approved since 2001, CyberKnife has treated millions of patients worldwide.
The CyberKnife uses a robotic arm to deliver radiation beams from hundreds of different angles.
This allows for precise targeting of the tumor, even if it moves during treatment.
The radiation is delivered in small, highly focused doses, which helps to minimize damage to healthy tissue.

CyberKnife can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including:
Brain tumors, cancerous and non-cancerous, Prostate cancer, Lung cancer, Liver tumors, Pancreatic cancer, and Spinal cord tumors, Ovarian cancer, Head and Neck, Metastatic tumors, plus nerve disorders like Trigeminal Neuralgia and Arteriovenous Malformations (AVM)
