Alaska Cancer Treatments That Provide Hope
If you or a loved one has just been diagnosed with cancer, we understand the difficult emotions and choices that you may face. CyberKnife has successfully treated more than 300,000 patients worldwide. Here’s how CyberKnife can help you:
Best Technology
The CyberKnife System is the only radiation treatment that combines a flexible robotic arm, real-time imaging, and intelligent tumor tracking to deliver precise radiation directly to the tumor, even as it moves.
Fast Treatment Time
Most patients would agree, they would rather spend a short time each day from one to five days for CyberKnife treatment than spend up to eight weeks taking 25 to 40 traditional radiation treatments.
Less Side Effects
Due to the precision of the radiation delivery, your surrounding healthy tissues is minimized and you will experience no or very few side effects.
Treatment Flexibility
It is ideal as a primary treatment, or in conjunction with other cancer treatments, such as surgery, traditional radiation therapy or chemotherapy. CyberKnife is also effective at retreating tumors and treating recurrences of cancer.
Communication
We will discuss treatment options with you so that you can understand and choose an option that best fits your needs.
