“I looked for an alternative when I was told a 7-hour surgical procedure would result in the loss
of a balance nerve and possible damage to a facial nerve.
It has been four years since my
treatment – the CyberKnife System gave me a second chance at life.”

Improving Patients' Quality Of Life
The CyberKnife® System improves patients’ lives during and after treatment.
The ability to receive pain-free, non-invasive treatment for aggressive and/or
unresectable tumors means patients can resume their normal lives with renewed
hope and vigor.
Extends patients’ lives – Because the CyberKnife System allows clinicians to treat
tumors previously considered “inoperable”, patients’ lives are extended.
Pain-free, non-invasive treatment–The CyberKnife System eliminates invasive surgery
and frames, offering patients a pain-free treatment experience with minimal risk and few
post-treatment complications.
Minimal recovery time – Treatment durations average from 30-90 minutes depending on
tumor location, size and complexity. And with a total of 1-5 treatments, patients can return
to normal living immediately after treatment in most cases.
