Why refer your patients the to the CyberKnife Center?
The Synchrony
® System tracks,
detects and corrects
for tumor and patient
movement throughout treatment, resulting
in minimal damage to surrounding tissue.
New treatment options in clinical areas such as spine, lung, liver, pancreas, and prostate through the availability of full-body dynamic radiosurgery.
CyberKnife® technology provides a number of advantages over conventional radiotherapy for your patients, including:
- Improved comfort due to the elimination of the invasive head frame
- Outpatient procedure requires no hospital stay
- Short or no recovery time
- Treatment in one to five 60 to 90-minute sessions
- Ability to treat multiple tumors at different locations during a single treatment
- Focused, maximum radiation to the tumor without affecting healthy tissue
- Treatment for tumors that are not treatable by conventional surgery and other stereotactic radiosurgery methods
- Reduction in the risk of complications such as infection, hemorrhage and the loss of hearing/feeling sometimes associated with conventional surgery
