The range of surgical services for treatment includes:
The CyberKnife program at University Hospitals Case Medical Center has an expert interdisciplinary team of specialists from the Ireland Cancer Center, Neurological Institute and the Spine Institute who are able to provide leading-edge radiotherapy and radiosurgery treatments for a wide variety of tumors. With the addition of CyberKnife, we offer the most robust suite of radiation therapy/stereotactic radiosurgery options for patients.The CyberKnife uses a miniature linear accelerator (LINAC) to deliver concentrated beams of radiation to the tumors and lesions that are otherwise inaccessible to surgery or radiation. While the tumor receives a high dose of radiation to destroy tumor cells, the Cyberknife minimizes radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissue.
This painless, non-invasive technology gives patients new hope for successful treatment of tumors and lesions of the neck and spine and can also be utilized for treatment of tumors in the pancreas, lung, liver, kidney, prostate and breast previously diagnosed as untreatable or inoperable.
