Pasadena CyberKnife Center

Cyberknife is the most advanced treatment technology for removing cancerous and non-cancerous tumors throughout the body. The CyberKnife software and design is so sophisticated and accurate--to less than a millimeter--that CyberKnife can complete treatments in 5 days or less. The Cyberknife spares healthy tissue, and completes the same treatment that ordinary IMRT, IGRT and Proton Therapy technologies complete over 7-9 weeks. This advanced form of Radiation Delivery is known as Stereotactic RadioSugery (SRS), for brain and head treatments, or Stereotactic Body Radio-Therapy (SBRT), for tumors in the body (lung, prostate, breast, liver, pancreatic, kidney, colorectal). It is called RadioSugery because it achieves the results of surgery, with surgical margins--within a millimeter--without ever making an incision. SRS/SBRT is completed in short treatments lasting 30-90 minutes, for 5 days or less. The advanced design of the CyberKnife Robot can approach a tumor from virtually any angle and is the only technology available that treats and tracks tumors in motion. This is extremely important for lung, prostate, liver, pancreatic and kidney tumors.
