Lung Cancer Treatment with CyberKnife®
CyberKnife identifies the exact location of the tumor, tracking the tumor’s movement so the patient can breathe normally and damage to any surrounding healthy tissue is avoided during treatment. Included in the many benefits of CyberKnife for the treatment of lung cancer are:
- Little or no pain
- It's non-invasive nature
- No large incisions
- Minimal side effects
- An outpatient procedure
- Five or fewer treatments.
At Saint Peter’s University Hospital, the CyberKnife program is led by a team of multidisciplinary physicians and healthcare providers who provide patients with comprehensive and cutting edge treatment or our patients.
Our experienced lung cancer team helps patients weigh the pros and cons of lung cancer treatment options. The main goal of Saint Peter's second opinion consultation is to ensure that patients get what they need, when they need it. To request a second opinion, call our patient navigator at 732-745-6685.
