Benefits of Cyberknife VSI Treatment
Because CyberKnife is non-invasive, it has significantly fewer complications than traditional open surgery and often allows patients to have a better quality of life during and after treatment.
Other Benefits To The Patient May Include:
- Extremely accurate radiation targeting means higher doses of radiation can be used, offering the patient a better chance for cure
- Treats hard-to-reach tumors, many that may have been diagnosed as inoperable
- Tumors receive radiation from many angles, minimizing damage to healthy tissue
- Continually checks and compensates for any patient or tumor movement during treatments, which ensures accuracy
- Requires no metal head/body frames or skull pins
- Eliminates risks related to surgery, including potential infection, complication from anesthesia and post-operative bleeding
- Treats lesions considered to be untreatable by open surgery or other radiosurgical systems
- Treats lesions that have previously undergone the maximum allowed dose of radiation
