Conditions Treated

The following are brain, spine, and body tumors, lesions and disorders that potentially can be treated using the CyberKnife stereotactic radiosurgery system. Over 10,000 patients have been treated worldwide. Many had been told they had inoperable tumors but were successfully treated with the CyberKnife. Not everyone is a candidate for image guided radiosurgery treatments and only a CyberKnife trained physician can best determine if a condition can be treated using the CyberKnife system.
