CyberKnife Radiosurgery Benefits

  • Extremely accurate radiation targeting means a biologically ablative dose of radiation can be used, offering the patient a better chance for a cure
  • No invasive head frame or other rigid immobilization device is required
  • The ability to perform radiosurgery (1-5 fractions) on targets throughout the body, not just the brain
  • Precise targeting (within 1 mm) of selected lesions in the brain and body
  • A unique ability to provide real time monitoring of the treated target throughout treatment using an advanced image-guidance system
  • Continually checks and compensates for any movement made during treatments, ensuring accuracy
  • The capacity to perform fractionated radiosurgery
  • Eliminates risks related to surgery, including potential infection, complication from anesthesia and post-operative bleeding
  • Requires no recovery time. Treatments are done on an outpatient basis
  • Patients undergo their treatment and immediately resume normal daily activities
  • Painless treatment
  • Requires minimal or no sedation
  • No Incisions
  • Low risk of complications
  • Improved quality of life
