CyberKnife® Radiosurgery for Pancreatic Lesions
Targeting Angles

In contrast, the CyberKnife® device treats from literally hundreds of targeting angles, increasing the ability to conform the ablative dose to the tumor within the pancreas, while better sparing all of the surrounding normal gastrointestinal tissues.
