SRS/SBRT
A unique approach to robotic radiosurgery
The CyberKnife® system harnesses cutting-edge technology to deliver a specialized form of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) or stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).
Consisting of a compact linear accelerator attached to a highly maneuverable robotic arm, a key feature of the CyberKnife is its ability to adjust the width of radiation beams during treatment, allowing our clinical experts to vary the beam size and treat a larger variety of tumors throughout the body.
During CyberKnife procedures, patients will lie on a treatment table while the machine’s robotic arm moves around their body delivering high doses of radiation directly to their tumor with pinpoint precision. The cumulative dose of radiation delivered by the CyberKnife kills tumor cells while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue.
Most patients will require 5 or fewer treatment sessions with each lasting typically between 30 – 90 minutes depending on the size, shape and location of the tumor.
The CyberKnife treatment may be an option for patients who:
- Have inoperable or surgically complex tumors and seek a non-surgical alternative.
- Are battling recurrent or metastatic cancers.
- Face a high risk of complications from traditional surgery.
