CyberKnife® radiosurgery - Numerous applications
Pulmonary metastases
The CyberKnife® System is the only radiation method that tracks a moving pulmonary lesion using Synchrony® respiratory tracking, bringing radiosurgical precision to lung lesions. This allows the application of extreme radiation dose escalation to melanoma pulmonary metastases, radiobiologically ablating them in a way that conventional radiation cannot safely match, creating a reasonable alternative to thoracotomy with resection.
