CyberKnife
Treatment Tailored Just for You
The CyberKnife® Robotic Radiosurgery System is not a one-size-fits-all
approach to patient care. Its innovative design and use of leading-edge
technologies enables your physician to tailor treatments specific to your
tumor’s shape in order to ensure the best possible outcome.
Convenience That’s Second to None
Using the most advanced CyberKnife system available, the team at Jupiter
Medical Center can deliver the most precise radiosurgery treatments faster
than ever before. A treatment session that previously required a patient
to lie on the treatment table for an hour can now be completed in just
20 to 30 minutes using the CyberKnife M6.
Patients can complete treatment in one to five days, compared to the weeks
it takes to complete a course of conventional radiation therapy. It is
also an option for patients who have inoperable or surgically complex
tumors, or who may be looking for an alternative to surgery.
CyberKnife patients routinely report that they have minimal side effects
from their treatment, and in most cases, can immediately return to their
normal, daily activities.
