Spine tumors present a treatment challenge given their proximity to the spinal cord - an aspect of one's body critical for daily life.  The CyberKnife precisely targets the tumor’s exact location - using this method, it is possible to deliver a high dose of radiation to the tumor while avoiding damage to the surrounding sensitive spinal cord and other critical structures.

The CyberKnife System provides patients with a noninvasive treatment option for spinal tumors. Unlike conventional radiation therapy, during which moderate doses of radiation are delivered over weeks and months, the CyberKnife System can treat a spine tumor in one to five days depending on a patient's specific scenario.
