With sub-millimeter accuracy, the CyberKnife® Radiosurgery System safely delivers precisely targeted radiation beams to cancerous and non-cancerous tumors. At the HealthEast CyberKnife Center, we've treated more than 1,000 patients.

A new option

CyberKnife is now treating tumors that were once considered medically untreatable or surgically inoperable because of their proximity to critical structures, structures like the spine.

Additionally, patients who once had no options other than surgery now have a non-surgical option — an option that in many cases requires only five or fewer treatments.

Fewer treatments

Because CyberKnife has superior accuracy and unique tumor tracking ability it is able to safely deliver large doses of radiation directly to a tumor. That means fewer treatments and fewer trips for treatments.
