UNMATCHED CAPABILITIES

Sub-millimeter accuracy + real-time motion synchronization

Target the tumor and minimize dose to healthy and sensitive tissues with continuous, sub-millimeter robotic precision and exclusive Synchrony technology real-time correction and adaptation

A UNIQUE TREATMENT OPTION

Safe and efficient hypofractionated SBRT

Safely deliver hypofractionated SBRT treatments with complete confidence, delivering treatment in as little as 5 treatments or fewer — compared to 20-39 treatment with conventional radiotherapy.

POWERFUL OUTCOMES

Maximize patient quality of life

CyberKnife SBRT is delivered in an outpatient procedure – no incisions, no general anesthesia and no hospitalization – enabling patients to get back to everyday life quickly.

Clinical Evidence Continues Growing

Powerful results from two of the largest studies demonstrates excellent control and minimized toxicity with CyberKnife SBRT.

A Safe Alternative to
Conventional Fractionation1

Excellent Cancer Control
Five-year biochemical disease free survival was 97% for the whole group of patients. 

Low Side Effects
Toxicity and side effects were uncommon and similar to other radiation therapy treatments including IMRT. 

Extremely High Survival Rate
Five-year rates almost identical for low- and intermediate-risk patients. 

A Better Option for
Hypofractionated SBRT2

Shorter Treatment Schedules
Evidence suggests shortening treatment time to 5 fractions with SBRT does not increase gastrointestinal or acute toxicity, compared to conventional fractionation.

SBRT with Minimized Toxicity
CyberKnife SBRT reduced genitourinary side effects by 50% and also reduced gastrointestinal side effects, compared to SBRT with a conventional linac.

Enhanced Quality of Life
Reduced side effects and a shorter treatment schedule deliver meaningful quality-of-life benefits.

Confidence in Motion

How CyberKnife Redefines Prostate SBRT

The CyberKnife System is the only true robotic radiotherapy delivery system — and features the industry’s only real-time motion synchronization technology. Why does that matter?

Precision Matters

Delivering higher doses per fraction demands complete confidence in delivery precision and accuracy. CyberKnife’s continuous sub-millimeter precision allows zero-margin delivery to enable hypofractionated treatment while minimizing dose to healthy tissues.4

Motion Management Matters

Normal bodily functions make intra-fractional prostate motion inevitable. The CyberKnife System uses the AI-powered Synchrony technology to continuously and automatically track and correct for target motion in real time, effectively targeting the cancer and minimizing dose to surrounding tissues.5
