Head and Neck Cancer
CyberKnife treatment for head and neck cancer
CyberKnife is the world's first and only robotic radiosurgery system. Although its name suggests scalpels, operating rooms and recovery time, CyberKnife treatment involves no cutting, no pain and no hospital stay. It is a safe alternative to surgery for the treatment of cancerous and non-cancerous tumors anywhere in the body - including the head and neck.
Is CyberKnife right for you?
Only you and your doctor can determine the best treatment for your particular situation. CyberKnife may be an option for inoperable or very complicated tumors, or for patients who want to avoid surgery.
