The CyberKnife was invented at Stanford and is considered a major advance in the radiological treatment of cancer.

This device is commonly used for treatment of tumors in the brain or the base of the skull. Physicians at the Stanford Cancer Center also have experience using the CyberKnife to treat cancers of the pancreas, prostate and lungs.

With more experience than anyone in the world using the CyberKnife to deliver stereotactic radiosurgery, the Stanford CyberKnife Treatment Center is able to provide cutting-edge radiotherapy treatment for a wider variety of cancers than any other center.

CyberKnife stereotactic radiosurgery uses computer technology that allows doctors to deliver radiation with unprecedented precision, and without uncomfortable screws or frames that were previously used to immobilize patients during treatment.
