5. CyberKnife® Overview
CyberKnife stereotactic radiosurgery is a treatment option for cancerous and
noncancerous lesions. This non-invasive treatment delivers high-dose radiation to
tumors from different angles adjusting for tumor and patient movement
(breathing) during treatment.
Traditional radiation treatments are unable to deliver high dose radiation without
exposing a large margin of surrounding tissue to the radiation. As a result,
treatment often occurs over many sessions (up to 45 treatment days) using low
doses of radiation. Conversely, CyberKnife uses its advanced tracking system to
target tumors from multiple angles and deliver high doses of radiation over a
shorter course of time, specifically no more than five treatment sessions.
Utilizing this approach, healthy tissues are minimally exposed to the radiation
resulting in few to no side effects and return to normal activities right after
treatment.

6. Lung Cancer & CyberKnife Treatment
Oklahoma CyberKnife treats tumors in
lung cancer patients who cannot
tolerate surgery, have an inoperable
tumor, or are seeking an alternative to
surgery.
One of the challenges of treating lung
tumors is tumor movement as the
patient breathes. The CyberKnife
technology tracks and corrects for
movement throughout the treatment,
precisely delivering tightly contoured
beams targeted to the tumor, minimizing
exposure to surrounding healthy tissue.
CyberKnife treatments require no breath
holding or respiratory gating, thus
allowing patients to breathe normally
and remain comfortable during
treatment.
Treatment is planned and delivered by
Oklahoma CyberKnife’s radiation
oncologist and highly trained staff.
Oklahoma CyberKnife provides a non-
invasive, painless and comfortable
treatment with little to no recovery time.
