Brain
An effective, less disruptive treatment option
The precision of the CyberKnife System maximizes radiation delivered to the target — while minimizing dose to surrounding healthy tissues. The result is highly effective treatment that eliminates many of the inconveniences of other treatments — and significantly reduces the risk of the side effects that too often disrupt the lives of patients during and after treatment.
CYBERKNIFE VS. SURGERY
The CyberKnife System offers many of the same benefits of precise surgical intervention. But CyberKnife radiosurgery is an outpatient procedure that does not require incisions or general anesthesia. Most patients will not require hospitalization or a long recovery period.
CYBERKNIFE VS. CONVENTIONAL WHOLE-BRAIN RADIATION
Instead of delivering radiation to all brain tissues, CyberKnife radiosurgery targets the tumor(s) with sub-millimeter precision, protecting healthy brain tissues and reducing the risk of common cognitive side effects of whole-brain radiation. In addition, CyberKnife radiosurgery may be completed in as little as 1-5 sessions within 1-2 weeks, compared with 10-15 sessions over 2-3 weeks with conventional whole-brain radiation.
CYBERKNIFE VS. FRAME-BASED GAMMA KNIFE SRS
Compared with single-session radiosurgery with the frame-based Gamma Knife, treatment with the CyberKnife System can be spread out over 1-5 sessions, which may result in fewer side effects1.
Lung
An effective, less disruptive treatment option
The unparalleled precision and motion synchronization capabilities of the CyberKnife System maximize radiation delivered to the target — while helping minimize dose to surrounding healthy tissues.
The result is highly effective treatment that eliminates many of the inconveniences of other treatments — and significantly reduces the risk of the side effects that too often disrupt the lives of patients during and after treatment.
In fact, the hypofractionated, high-dose radiosurgery delivered by the CyberKnife System has been shown to improve tumor control and patient survival when compared to conventional radiotherapy.

CYBERKNIFE VS. SURGERY
Treatment with the CyberKnife System is an outpatient procedure that does not requires incisions or general anesthesia. Most patients will not require hospitalization, or a long recovery period.
CYBERKNIFE VS. CONVENTIONAL RADIATION THERAPY
CyberKnife treatment is typically completed in as little as 3 to 4 sessions over 1 to 2 weeks, compared to 20 to 30 sessions over 4 to 6 weeks with conventional radiation therapy.

An effective, less disruptive treatment option
The unparalleled precision and motion synchronization capabilities of the CyberKnife System maximize radiation delivered to the target — while helping to minimize dose to surrounding healthy tissues. The result is highly effective treatment that eliminates many of the inconveniences of other treatments — and significantly reduces the risk of the side effects that too often disrupt the lives of patients during and after treatment. In fact, the hypofractionated, high-dose radiosurgery delivered by the CyberKnife System is emerging as a ground-breaking treatment option — showing evidence of improved tumor control and patient survival when treatment wasn’t possible with conventional radiotherapy or surgery. CyberKnife treatments are typically delivered in 1 to 2 weeks.
CYBERKNIFE VS. SURGERY
CyberKnife treatment is an outpatient procedure that requires no incisions, no general anesthesia, no hospitalization and no long recovery period.
Prostate Cancer
An effective, less disruptive re-treatment option
The unparalleled precision and motion synchronization capabilities of the CyberKnife System maximize radiation delivered to the target — while helping to safeguard surrounding healthy tissues. The result is highly effective treatment that eliminates many of the inconveniences of other treatments — and significantly reduces the risk of the side effects that too often disrupt the lives of patients during and after treatment.

CYBERKNIFE VS. CONVENTIONAL RADIATION THERAPY
CyberKnife treatment is completed in as little as 4-5 sessions over 1-2 weeks, compared to 30-40 sessions over 8-10 weeks with conventional radiation therapy.
Spinal Cancer
An effective, less disruptive treatment option
The precision of the CyberKnife System enables a maximum dose of radiation to be delivered to the target — while helping to minimize radiation exposure to the spinal cord and surrounding healthy tissues. The result is highly effective treatment that eliminates many of the inconveniences of surgical intervention and conventional radiotherapy — and significantly reduces the risk of side effects, helping to protect quality of life both during and after treatment. In fact, the hypofractionated, high-dose radiosurgery delivered by the CyberKnife System has emerged as an important alternative to conventional treatments, rapidly delivering proven tumor control, as well as reliable pain relief in the treatment of spine cancers.
