What is Cyberknife®?

Treatment of tumors of the skull base, including pituitary tumors, meningiomas, chordomas, craniopharyngiomas and sinus tumors is complex. A coordinated, multidisciplinary team is essential to achieving the best possible outcome for individual patients. For this reason, ´óÏó´«Ã½ Neurosurgery’s skull base team includes members of the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radiation Oncology department. Radiation oncologists partner with surgeons who are certified CyberKnife® users. Together, they decide when minimally-invasive CyberKnife treatment is appropriate for brain tumors. This can help avoid a larger surgery in selected patients.

CyberKnife® is a form of radiosurgery that involves precise, pinpoint targeting of radiation beams to create a treatment plan without the need for surgery. Frequently, the surgery is outpatient and completed within one or a few days. ´óÏó´«Ã½ is a leading CyberKnife® center with particular expertise in using this technology to treat complex skull base tumors.
