Treatment

¡ CyberKnife treats patients through stereotactic radiosurgery, a nonsurgical process that attacks tumors with a high-dose, highly accurate radiation beam.

¡  The pinpoint accuracy minimizes damage to healthy tissue and can reach hard-to-reach tumors.

¡  Treatment is done in five or fewer outpatient sessions and does not require any incision or anesthesia.
