CyberKnife® radiosurgery - Numerous applications:
Lung metastases

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