CyberKnife® is an innovative, highly precise, noninvasive alternative to open surgery. The revolutionary technique uses a computer-guided robot arm to deliver radiation with sub-millimeter accuracy. This advanced treatment can target a point from thousands of angles, allowing radiation oncologists to treat difficult to reach tumors or unusually shaped masses.
Since CyberKnife is a form of stereotactic radiosurgery (surgery employing a precise radiation beam on 3 planes), this outpatient procedure is bloodless (no surgical incision is necessary) and doesn’t require anesthesia.
Using a linear accelerator to generate radiation beams, the CyberKnife system under experienced physicians’ guidance can treat tumors anywhere in the body.
Stereotactic radiosurgery provides noninvasive treatment for a variety of inoperable or surgically complex central nervous system (CNS) tumors, such as brain and spine tumors including:
CyberKnife can also be used to treat other conditions, often by ablating (surgically destroying) disorder-causing tissues:
Using the most advanced technologies, our seasoned neurosurgeons at Neurological Surgery, P.C. (NSPC) can treat difficult to reach brain tumors, benign or malignant, and many other brain and spine conditions with leading-edge technology.
As part of the CyberKnife System, innovative advancements have made stereotactic surgery even more comfortable and safer for patients:
