What intracranial tumors can be treated using the CyberKnife System that cannot be treated using conventional radiosurgery?
The CyberKnife System’s intelligent robotics enables the system to treat tumors that are difficult to reach with more conventional, frame-based systems. The CyberKnife System is the only robotic radiosurgery system that utilizes the skeletal structure of the body as a reference, eliminating the need for the invasive frame used with traditional radiosurgery systems. Additionally, the manipulator enables unlimited beam positions, which provides access to many tumors that are unreachable by other radiosurgery systems. Examples of intracranial tumors treated with the CyberKnife System not reachable by conventional radiosurgery systems include skull base tumors, meningiomas and metastases located in the low posterior fossa, foramen magnum, and upper cervical spine areas.
