Lung cancer is among the most common cancers we treat at the CyberKnife Center of Miami and CyberKnife Radiosurgery is the premier non-surgical treatment for lung cancer.
CyberKnife Provides Unrivaled Precision Where It Matters Most: One of the biggest challenges in lung cancer treatment remains effectively treating the cancer, while minimizing impact on the many sensitive tissues and vital organs that surround the lungs. Precision is critical — and that’s what makes the CyberKnife System so unique.
The CyberKnife System is the only robotic radiation delivery system that incorporates Synchrony® Respiratory Technology, enabling the system to automatically and continually track and synchronize treatment delivery to motion to keep the radiation precisely targeted on the tumor as it moves with your natural breathing.
The CyberKnife System is a leading technology in SBRT, a specialized type of radiation therapy, used to routinely treat lung cancers and metastases.
The system provides a proven, non-surgical option for treating early stage, inoperable non-small cell lung cancer, tumors in challenging anatomical locations such as central lung tumors surrounded by sensitive structures and lung tumors near the chest wall, and inoperable peripheral lung tumors.
CyberKnife SBRT may also be an option for those patients seeking an alternative to surgery.
Key CyberKnife® Treatment Benefits:
Radiation treatment is non-surgical and non-invasive
Produces good tumor control
Significantly reduced incidence of common side effects such as shortness of breath, swallowing difficulties or a sore throat
Treatments are typically completed in as little as 3 to 4 sessions across 1 to 2 weeks
Most patients can continue normal activity throughout treatment
More than two decades of clinical proof: The CyberKnife System is the first and only radiotherapy device that brings true robotic precision and the ability to track, detect and adapt for tumor motion in real-time, to the treatment of lung cancer.
But this advanced treatment technology is not new; the CyberKnife System has more than two decades of clinical evidence and has helped thousands of patients diagnosed with lung tumors and metastases.
The CyberKnife System is used to treat a wide range of lung cancers, including even the most complicated cases.
Demonstrated clinical benefits in the treatment of lung cancer: The CyberKnife System is a leading technology in SBRT, a specialized type of radiation therapy, used to treat early stage, inoperable non-small cell lung cancer while minimizing side effects.
The CyberKnife System enables safe and effective SBRT for central lung tumors surrounded by sensitive structures and lung tumors near the chest wall.
CyberKnife also provides excellent clinical outcomes for patients with inoperable peripheral lung tumors.
A pooled analysis of two randomized trials indicates that lung SBRT is better tolerated and might lead to better overall survival compared to surgery for operable early-stage lung cancer.
