Lung Cancer

The CyberKnife System is now recognized as the premier solution for safe and effective lung radiosurgery delivery. With a large body of academic support, the CyberKnife System has now treated more than 50,000 patients and been installed as the radiosurgery system of choice by more than 140 institutions globally.

CyberKnife robotic radiosurgery painlessly delivers precise beams of radiation to tumors and lesions, without requiring incisions, hospitalization, or long recovery time. It can serve as an effective way for lung cancer treatment and is an especially good option for patients with complex tumors or patients who prefer a non-invasive way to treat their cancer for certain medical reasons.

CyberKnife radiosurgery is a breakthrough technology in treating lung cancer due to:

• Radiation target accuracy of 0.77 mm
• Lung cancer control rates of 85-95 percent
• Lung cancer survival rates are 45 percent better with CyberKnife than with conventional radiation
• You don't have to hold your breath during treatment, like you do with other radiation systems; you relax and breathe normally
• Ultimate precision - no damage to your heart or other critical organs
• You simply lie comfortably on a table listening to music of your choice
• You do not feel any pain

CyberKnife can treat early-stage cancer, before your lung cancer has spread. It's also an effective option for recurrent or metastatic cancer - or for patients who want a noninvasive option.

As the most advanced radiation technology available today, CyberKnife is the only system that uses real-time imaging (Synchrony* Respiratory Tracking System and X-Sight* tracking System) to track and adjust for tumor movement during treatment.

Additional Benefits of Cyberknife:

• Delivers over 250 beams of radiation to "paint" your tumor
• High dose destroys your tumor quickly so you feel better sooner
• Only system that can move around you 320 degrees, to come at your tumor from every possible angle
• Treats Stage 1, Stage 2 and inoperable tumors
• Upto 5 or less visits
• No breath-holding
• No cutting
• No pain
• Few, if any, side effects
• No hospital stay
• Pinpoint accuracy
• Spares more healthy tissue
