CyberKnife Treatment
The CyberKnife is commonly used for treatment of tumors in the brain or the base of the skull. Stanford physicians also have experience using the device 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.
