The CyberKnife System
The CyberKnife system is a nonsurgical, minimally invasive robotic delivery system that precisely targets cancerous and noncancerous tumors throughout the body.
This innovative technology allows patients with inoperable or surgically complex tumors to receive effective treatment that conventional radiation therapy may not provide.
Delivered on an outpatient basis, the CyberKnife therapy significantly reduces pain, recovery time, and side effects compared to traditional radiation treatments, making it a more convenient and patient-friendly option.
The CyberKnife System vs. Traditional Radiation Therapy
How Does It Work?
The CyberKnife system uses a robotic arm equipped with near real-time imaging to precisely position and deliver high-dose radiation to tumors. During treatment, the robotic arm continuously adjusts to patient movements, such as changes in position and breathing, ensuring that the radiation targets only the tumor and spares surrounding healthy tissues.
In contrast, conventional radiation therapy employs a fixed beam that does not adapt to subtle movements, potentially exposing healthy tissues and organs to high-dose radiation. At Philadelphia CyberKnife, our advanced technology significantly reduces this risk, offering a smaller margin of error and minimizing side effects. This makes the CyberKnife system an advanced and effective treatment option for cancer, prioritizing your comfort and safety.
