CyberKnife Frameless Stereotactic Radiosurgery
Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy: What to Expect During Treatment and How to Manage Treatment Related Side Effects
The CyberKnife was invented at Stanford and is considered a major advance in the radiological treatment of cancer.
CyberKnife stereotactic radiosurgery uses computer technology that allows doctors to deliver radiation with unprecedented precision. Unlike other radiosurgery technologies, the CyberKnife does not use uncomfortable screws or frames to immobilize patients during treatment.
The CyberKnife is capable of treating tumors anywhere in the body. At Stanford, CyberKnife technology is commonly used for treatment of tumors and conditions of the brain and spine, in addition to cancers of the pancreas, prostate, liver, and lungs.
