The CyberKnife System

Pioneered by Stanford University, the CyberKnife is a cutting-edge technology FDA-cleared for treating various tumors. Louisville CyberKnife leverages this non-invasive radiosurgery to offer a painless alternative to surgery for inoperable or complex cases.

With a robotic arm for pinpoint accuracy, the CyberKnife delivers high-dose radiation directly to the tumor, minimizing exposure to healthy tissue. Trusted by over 500,000 patients worldwide, Louisville CyberKnife is proud to offer this safe and effective solution for their many cancer patients.

The CyberKnife System vs. Traditional Radiation Therapy

How Does It Work?

The CyberKnife works by accurately administering high-dose radiation to tumors while limiting the exposure to surrounding healthy tissues with sub-millimeter accuracy and thousands of beam angles. Its real-time motion synchronizing ability uses specialized imaging and tumor tracking to confirm the position of the tumor before administering the radiation beams. This allows for smaller margins of error to avoid healthy tissues and cells throughout the entire session, which means any movements, like breathing, are accounted for when targeting tumors.

Compared to conventional radiation therapy, which uses fixed beams that can produce side effects and longer, more frequent sessions, you can experience minimally invasive radiation therapy with the CyberKnife that produces optimal results with reduced side effects and within shorter and fewer sessions.

Why the CyberKnife System?

• Superior Targeting: The CyberKnife system’s pinpoint accuracy allows for higher radiation doses directly targeting tumors, improving treatment success while minimizing damage and side effects to healthy tissues through its multi-angle attack.
• Comfort & Efficiency: The CyberKnife offers a non-invasive alternative to surgery, eliminating the need for anesthesia and hospitalization. Real-time tracking ensures unwavering accuracy even with movement, and most treatments are completed on an outpatient basis with minimal disruption to daily life.
• Reduced Risks: The CyberKnife offers a non-invasive alternative to surgery, avoiding anesthesia, infection, and bleeding risks, while tackling tumors in challenging locations previously considered inoperable.
