Advanced CyberKnife treatment at Atlantic Health

Benefits

CyberKnife® is a noninvasive treatment that delivers powerful radiation with precision—no incisions, no blood loss and little to no recovery time. Most patients complete treatment in five visits or fewer, compared to 40+ with traditional radiation. It’s performed on an outpatient basis and is covered by Medicare and most insurance plans. Advanced technology allows treatment of larger and hard-to-reach tumors that were once considered inoperable.


Multidisciplinary approach

At Atlantic Health your care is guided by a collaborative team of specialists in neurosurgery, neuro-oncology, radiation oncology, thoracic surgery, urology and hepatic medicine. Together, they evaluate your condition and personalize your treatment plan. Patients also have access to nurse navigators for support and education, along with nutritional counseling services to support overall well-being during treatment.


How it works

CyberKnife uses advanced imaging and robotic technology to track tumors in real time—even as your body moves. A robotic arm delivers multiple highly focused beams of radiation from different angles, targeting tumors while protecting healthy tissue. This precision eliminates the need for invasive immobilization techniques and allows for effective treatment of tumors in sensitive or hard-to-reach areas.
