CyberKnife Radiosurgery is a non-invasive treatment for cancer that uses high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells.

CyberKnife Radiosurgery is a non-invasive treatment for cancer that uses high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells. It is a form of stereotactic radiosurgery that delivers precise, targeted radiation to the tumor while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. CyberKnife uses a combination of advanced imaging technologies and a robotic arm to deliver radiation from multiple angles, which allows for greater accuracy and less damage to healthy tissue.

The operation of CyberKnife Radiosurgery typically involves several steps. First, the patient is immobilized using a custom-fitted body cradle or mask. Next, a CT scan is performed to create a 3D image of the tumor and surrounding tissues. This image is used to create a treatment plan, which specifies the dose and angles of radiation that will be used to target the tumor. During treatment, the robotic arm moves around the patient, delivering radiation to the tumor from multiple angles. The entire procedure typically takes one to two hours, and patients can usually return home the same day.

CyberKnife Radiosurgery is a safe and effective treatment option for a variety of cancers, including those that are difficult to treat with traditional surgery or radiation therapy. It has been shown to be particularly effective for tumors located in sensitive areas of the body, such as the brain, spine, and prostate. Unlike traditional radiation therapy, CyberKnife Radiosurgery requires no incisions or anesthesia, and patients typically experience minimal side effects. With its high precision and accuracy, CyberKnife Radiosurgery is a valuable tool in the fight against cancer.
