Cyberknife Treatment For Brain Tumor, most advanced types of radiosurgery , painless, non-invasive treatment that promises high doses of precisely targeted radiation to destroy Brain tumors or lesions in the body.

The CyberKnife system is a form of robotic radiosurgery used to treat both malignant and benign tumors in all areas of the body. The advantages to the CyberKnife system is that it provides a more targeted and precise form of treatment than other radiation therapies, it is relatively non-invasive, and it eliminates the need for the rigid head frame needed in other brain surgery procedures. CyberKnife is also an outpatient surgery that requires no incision, is painless, and requires little recovery time for the patient making it a quick and minimally distressing treatment for the patient. Using image guided technology continuously throughout the process, the CyberKnife system is able to accurately target tumors with radiation produced from a small linear particle accelerator. This particle accelerator is attached to a robotic arm with enough freedom of movement to be able to reach any targeted area of the patient's body.
