Imagine a nonsurgical way to treat both cancerous and noncancerous tumors anywhere in the body, including the brain, liver, kidney, neck, spine, lung, pancreas and prostate. Now imagine that it were pain-free and caused fewer side effects than did other treatments. The CyberKnife® Robotic Stereotactic Radiosurgery System makes all that a reality.
CyberKnife is the world's most accurate radiosurgery instrument for treating tumors and lesions that were once considered inoperable. Saint Peter's University Hospital is one of a select group of medical institutions in the country currently offering the breakthrough CyberKnife treatment.
CyberKnife is a robotic stereotactic radiosurgery system that noninvasively treats inoperable or complex tumors. It delivers beams of high-dose radiation with pinpoint accuracy in a manner that does not cause any patient discomfort, nor does it require minimizing patient movement, as do other methods do.
