What Can Be Treated?

The CyberKnife® System is a non-invasive alternative to surgery for the treatment of both cancerous and non-cancerous tumors anywhere in the body, including the head, spine, lung, prostate, liver and pancreas. The treatment – which delivers high doses of radiation to tumors with extreme accuracy – offers new hope to patients who have inoperable or surgically complex tumors, or who may be looking for a non-surgical option. As of June 2010, more than 90,000 patients have been treated and more than 222 CyberKnife® systems are installed worldwide.

Below is a partial list of intracranial (head and brain) tumors and lesions that can be treated by the CyberKnife® System:

Acoustic neuroma Anaplastic astrocytoma Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) Craniopharyngioma Ependymoma Gangliocytoma Germinoma Glioblastoma multiforme Glioma Glomus jugulare tumor

Hemangioblastoma Meningioma Neurocytoma Neurofibroma Neurofibromatosis Oligodendroglioma PNET Pituitary adenoma Schwannoma Trigeminal neuralgia Vestibular schwannoma

Below is a partial list of extracranial (outside of the brain) tumors and lesions that can be treated by the CyberKnife System:

Sarcoma Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Pancreatic Cancer Hepatocellular Carcinoma Prostate Cancer Renal Cell Carcinoma Colon Cancer Ovarian Cancer Uterine Cancer
