CyberKnife for Cancers and Neurological Conditions

Cyberknife Treats Brain and Spine Cancers, as well as, Lung, Liver & Pancreatic Cancers.

CyberKnife® is a revolutionary, non-invasive robotic radiosurgery system designed to deliver high-dose, highly targeted radiation therapy with sub-millimeter precision. Unlike traditional radiation therapy, CyberKnife tracks and adjusts for patient and tumor movement in real time, making it especially effective for treating tumors and lesions in hard-to-reach or sensitive areas.

1. Brain Tumors

CyberKnife is ideal for treating both malignant and benign brain tumors. Its precision reduces damage to healthy tissue and preserves critical neurological functions. It is commonly used for:

• Gliomas
• Meningiomas
• Acoustic neuromas
• Metastatic brain tumors

2. Trigeminal Neuralgia

CyberKnife offers a non-surgical alternative for patients suffering from this debilitating nerve disorder. It uses targeted radiation to disrupt the trigeminal nerve root, providing long-term pain relief with minimal side effects.

3. Lung Cancer

CyberKnife is a leading choice for treating both primary and metastatic lung tumors, particularly in patients who cannot undergo surgery. It accounts for breathing motion and delivers focused doses without the need for invasive procedures.

4. Liver Cancer

For liver tumors, CyberKnife provides a non-invasive, outpatient treatment option that can preserve liver function. Its real-time tracking technology adapts to organ motion, allowing for safe and accurate radiation even in soft tissue.

5. Pancreatic Cancer

CyberKnife enables precise targeting of pancreatic tumors, often considered inoperable due to location. It minimizes radiation exposure to nearby organs such as the stomach and intestines, improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

6. Kidney Cancer

CyberKnife can treat kidney tumors while sparing surrounding structures like the bowel and spinal cord. It is especially beneficial for patients with a single kidney, poor surgical candidacy, or those seeking a non-invasive alternative.

7. Spine Tumors

Spinal tumors are difficult to treat due to the proximity of the spinal cord. CyberKnife’s pinpoint accuracy allows for effective treatment of spinal metastases and primary spine tumors with reduced risk of spinal cord damage.

Key Benefits of CyberKnife Treatment

• Non-invasive and painless: No incisions or anesthesia required.
• Outpatient procedure: Most patients go home the same day.
• Minimal recovery time: Return to normal activities quickly.
• Precision targeting: Protects healthy tissue while attacking tumors.
• Effective for hard-to-reach areas: Suitable for tumors near critical organs or previously treated with radiation.
