Advanced Tumor Treatment

Cooper CyberKnife Center, part of Cooper Cancer Institute (CCI), is proud to offer a ground-breaking cancer treatment tool - the CyberKnife® Robotic Radiosurgery System. 

The CyberKnife is the world’s first and only radiosurgery system designed to pinpoint and destroy tumors in the body. In many cases, the treatment offers new hope to patients who were considered untreatable or inoperable, who may be looking for an alternative to surgery, or who have been previously exposed to the maximum allowable dose of radiation but still require further treatment.

What is the CyberKnife?

The CyberKnife System is a computer-controlled, robotic radiation delivery system that attacks tumors with high doses of radiation from virtually any direction or angle with sub-millimeter accuracy. With stereotactic radiosurgery there is no incision and no anesthesia. Radiosurgery does not remove the tumor or lesions, but instead, uses the high doses of focused radiation to destroy tumor cells and stop the growth of cancer cells.

At the core of the CyberKnife System is technology that continuously and automatically tracks the tumor’s and patient’s position – including his or her respiratory motion. It uses this information to guide and position the radiation beams to precisely target the tumor, while carefully sparing the surrounding healthy tissue.

Conditions Treated with the CyberKnife

The following conditions can be successfully treated with the CyberKnife:

• Lung cancers
• Prostate cancer
• Liver cancer
• Spine tumors 
• Pancreatic cancers 
• Other places in the body where radiation treatment is indicated

At Cooper, tumors in the brain, head or neck can also be treated with stereotactic radiosurgery using the Leskell Gamma Knife® Perfexion™.  Cooper is only one of nine hospitals nationwide that have both the CyberKnife and Gamma Knife radiosurgery tools.  The CyberKnife and the Gamma Knife are complementary devices that use advanced computer systems to deliver radiation with pinpoint accuracy to cancerous tumors while avoiding other critical structures.

Benefits of Choosing CyberKnife Treatment

• CyberKnife is a precise, painless, non-invasive procedure.
• CyberKnife treatment does not require anesthesia or stabilizing frames.
• Treatments last between 30 and 90 minutes and are typically completed on an outpatient basis in one to five visits within the same week.
• Because there are no incisions, most patients experience minimal recovery time and side effects, and can return to their activities almost immediately.
• Because it is so precise, CyberKnife treatment may be an option for patients who have previously exposed to the maximum allowable dose of radiation but require further treatment.
