Treat Cancer with Painless Precision
At Columbus CyberKnife we treat several different types of conditions including; malignant and benign tumors in the brain, spine, lung, liver, pancreas, prostate, kidney and eye, trigeminal neuralgia, and arteriovenous malformation using advanced radiation technology. Our team of medical specialists collaborate together to develop a customized treatment plan for your specific diagnosis.
The CyberKnife® Robotic Radiosurgery System is a painless, nonsurgical, outpatient cancer treatment with minimal to no side effects. CyberKnife is able to deliver very high doses of radiation to cancerous and noncancerous tumors with extreme accuracy. The System allows physicians to zero in on the target tumor and irradiate it without harming the surrounding healthy tissue. As a result, the CyberKnife treatment is more comfortable for patients, radiation is delivered more accurately, and treatments can be completed in one to five sessions. Allowing you to dedicate less time and stress to cancer treatment and more time to living your life to the fullest.
