¿What is CyberKnife | Accuray?
CyberKnife® is a noninvasive, painless, nonsurgical alternative to treat tumors throughout the body.
This prevents the body from receiving high doses of radiation that often damage large amounts of healthy tissue surrounding the tumor.
It is ideal for patients who do not wish to undergo surgery with inoperable or surgically complex tumors. Its advanced software allows the tracking of moving tumors, especially those located in the lungs, and reduces the radiation received by healthy tissues to minimal levels.
It allows radiation beams to reach the tumor from more than 1,200 different positions, concentrating the radiation on the target, improving the user and patient experience. -
Benefits of CyberKnife | Accuray
✅ The CyberKnife® offers more treatment options, providing new hope for patients with inoperable tumors or those who refuse surgery.
✅ It continuously tracks tumor position, detects tumor location, and corrects tumor and patient movement throughout treatment.
✅ It delivers a high dose of radiation with sub-millimeter precision, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
✅ This treatment is painless and does not require the use of anesthesia, effectively eliminating the risk of complications such as infections, bleeding, and other side effects of traditional surgery.
✅ Shorter recovery time compared to traditional open surgery, as it is performed on an outpatient basis.
✅ In the case of intracranial treatments, patients receive radiation comfortably, thanks to the absence of a stereotaxic frame, and therefore without pain.
✅ The patient can receive their treatment in a number of sessions ranging from 1 to 5. -
About CyberKnife | Accuray
🟢Continuous tumor monitoring
Tumors often move during radiation therapy. Even when the patient is immobilized, imperceptible movements such as breathing or, in the case of prostate tumors, prostate movement, can cause changes in the position of the tumor during radiation administration, causing surrounding healthy tissue to be irradiated. CyberKnife® has software that facilitates continuous tumor tracking, automatic detection of movement, and correction of the position of the robotic arm, readjusting the direction of the radiation beam without having to interrupt treatment or reposition the patient. No fiducial placement or stereotaxic frame is necessary.
🟢Non-coplanar treatment
Unlike conventional linear accelerators (LINAC) that deliver coplanar treatments, CyberKnife®, thanks to its robotic manipulator, allows non-coplanar treatments. The radiation beams are delivered from different planes, allowing the tumor to be attacked from different angles.
🟢 Flexibility to deliver non-isocentric radiation beams
CyberKnife® is the only system capable of delivering isocentric and non-isocentric treatments, providing more conformal treatments to lesions with irregular shapes, preserving the surrounding healthy tissue. -
Quick installation, planning and administration
The CyberKnife S7 system is designed for speed, providing operational efficiency and making it possible to treat the number of patients needed to drive financial success and deliver excellent patient outcomes.
