CyberKnife Technology in Cancer Treatment: Precision Meets Innovation

Introduction

In the ever-evolving world of cancer treatment, precision is paramount. The CyberKnife system represents a groundbreaking advancement in radiosurgery—delivering high-dose radiation with pinpoint accuracy, without the need for invasive surgery. At Acıbadem Hospitals, this cutting-edge technology is transforming the landscape of oncology with patient-centered, non-invasive solutions.

What Is CyberKnife?

CyberKnife is a robotic radiosurgery system used primarily to treat tumors and lesions throughout the body—including brain, spine, lung, prostate, liver, and pancreas. Unlike traditional radiation therapy, CyberKnife delivers focused beams of radiation with sub-millimeter accuracy, making it possible to target tumors that are hard to reach or located near critical structures.

How It Works

CyberKnife utilizes real-time imaging and robotic motion to track and adjust for patient and tumor movement during treatment. This ensures that radiation is precisely delivered to the tumor while sparing healthy surrounding tissues.

• Non-invasive procedure

• No anesthesia required

• Outpatient treatment

• Minimal recovery time

Patients typically receive treatment in 1 to 5 sessions, with each session lasting about 30 to 90 minutes.

Conditions Treated with CyberKnife

CyberKnife is especially effective for:

• Brain and spinal tumors (both benign and malignant)

• Lung cancer

• Liver tumors

• Prostate cancer

• Pancreatic tumors

• Recurrent tumors in previously irradiated areas
