The CyberKnife® Robotic Radiosurgery System is the world’s first and only radiosurgery system designed to treat cancerous and non-cancerous tumors anywhere in the body with sub-millimeter accuracy. Using image guidance technology and computer-controlled robotics, the system can continuously track the tumor, detect its location and correct for tumor and patient movement in real-time throughout the treatment. This unique ability is important for treating tumors that move, particularly those in the spine, lung, liver, pancreas and prostate.
Recognizing that cancer impacts the entire family, the Center extends support and services to family members, as well as patients.
Programs such as Expression Through Art, the Integrative Medicine Program, and the post-treatment Exercise & Nutrition Program support patients' emotional and physical issues surrounding cancer reatment and recovery, all at no additional charge to patient.
