CyberKnife is the only FDA approved, completely robotic stereotactic radiosurgery available in the world that targets and destroys inaccessible tumors or lesions anywhere in the body including the neck, spine, lung, pancreas and prostate.
This makes it possible to treat lesions that move with breathing, such as lung and pancreatic tumors. It also allows administration of a higher dose of radiation while nearby normal tissue is preserved.
A multi-jointed robotic arm delivers multiple beams of radiation at optimal angles to the tumor site. With over 1,200 possible beam positions, the CyberKnife has the greatest flexibility of approach available in radiosurgery–even more than radiation therapy.
