What Is CyberKnife?

CyberKnife is our flagship treatment, and it’s one of the most comprehensive cancer-fighting systems on the market today. Combining cutting-edge technology from several fields, CyberKnife is capable of delivering high-dose, precision radiation to a tumor with sub-millimeter accuracy. This means CyberKnife can treat many cancers noninvasively while minimizing damage to surrounding cells and tissues, making for a treatment that’s both convenient and produces fewer side effects.

Treating Sarcoma with CyberKnife

Sarcoma is cancer of the connective tissues of the body, and there are more than 60 specific subtypes. Generally, surgery is still the preferred method for treating sarcoma, as it’s often an aggressive and fast-growing form of cancer. Where possible, most doctors will elect to surgically remove the tumor and surrounding tissue to prevent the spread of sarcoma.

That said, CyberKnife can often play a role even if it isn’t the primary treatment. Your doctor may use CyberKnife after surgical removal to prevent the likelihood of recurrence, or if your tumor is too large for surgical removal, your doctor may use CyberKnife to shrink the tumor until it can be excised surgically. Your treatment plan will depend entirely on the specifics of your case and condition, but in many cases, we can use CyberKnife to make treatment more convenient or to treat sarcoma outright.
