More Ways to Save Your Life: CyberKnife® at Pennsylvania Hospital

CyberKnife® delivers high dose radiation to tumors with extreme precision. With a dynamic linear accelerator and sophisticated image-guided technology, CyberKnife treats cancerous and non-cancerous tumors primarily in the prostate, lung, spine, brain, liver, pancreas and kidney. It can also be used for patients who have tumors that cannot be treated with conventional surgery or lesions that were previously treated with radiation therapy.

Penn Medicine is pleased to offer every form of advanced radiation therapy, including CyberKnife, Gamma Knife® and proton therapy, which allows Penn physicians to determine the most effective treatment with the least side effects for each patient. Patients can be evaluated for CyberKnife and other radiation therapy treatment options at Pennsylvania Hospital, the Ruth and Raymond Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine and locations throughout the Philadelphia region through the Penn Radiation Oncology Network.
