The CyberKnife® Radiosurgery Solution - Early stage Lung Cancer:
Breathing motion of tumor
The CyberKnife® device is the only radiosurgery or radiotherapy device that tracks and treats a moving cancer throughout the entire breathing cycle (15). This enables an even smaller margin of normal tissue
around the cancer to be treated, increasing the safety
of treatment.
