What is CyberKnife Treatment?
CyberKnife Radiosurgery is a painless, non-invasive radiation treatment that can be used as an alternative, to open surgery in certain cases. The CyberKnife uses image-guided robotics to non-invasively destroy tumors and other lesions with multiple beams of high-energy radiation. The cumulative effect of all the beams at the target results in the lesion receiving a very high dose of radiation while nearby normal tissue is preserved.
CyberKnife is an entirely new approach to radiosurgery. It is the first and only robotic surgery device that uses a linear accelerator mounted on a computer-controlled robotic arm to treat tumors in the head, neck, spine, lung and other areas throughout the body that are often unreachable by conventional surgery or other stereotactic methods.
Cyberknife radiosurgery uses sub-millimeter clinical accuracy that is so precise it can match the shape of small complex tumors located in critical structures. This ability allows the CyberKnife to treat lesions that may be considered inoperable or untreatable with other radiosurgery systems.
One of the most gratifying things in regards to CyberKnife treatment is that it has given physicians the opportunity to help patients who they didn't have anything to offer before. Now we can offer hope, we can change lives, at the CyberKnife Treatment Center at Central Baptist Hospital.
