CyberKnife is a robotic radiosurgery system that uses targeted radiation beams from numerous angles to treat tumors without surgery or anesthesia. It features a compact linear accelerator attached to a robotic arm that moves around the patient to continuously track and compensate for tumor movement. Treatment sessions typically last 30-90 minutes and offer greater accuracy than conventional radiation therapy in targeting tumors. The Oklahoma CyberKnife center has extensive experience treating various cancer types, including lung cancer, and their physicians have conducted research on treating trigeminal neuralgia.

2. What is CyberKnife?
The world’s only robotic radiosurgery system, CyberKnife treats
patients with a procedure called stereotactic radiosurgery.
Stereotactic radiosurgery is a noninvasive method of treating tumors
with high-dose radiation precisely aimed from different angles.
How does CyberKnife work?
CyberKnife does not require surgery and there is no cutting
or anesthesia required. Comprised of a compact linear
accelerator - a machine that generates a radiation beam -
attached to a highly maneuverable robotic arm.
•The machine’s robotic arm moves around you, aiming and
firing targeted radiation beams from numerous angles.
•The imaging and tracking system continually updates the
tumor location throughout the treatment procedure,
compensating for patient movements like breathing.
•Treatment sessions typically last 30-90 minutes.
