The latest most advanced technology in combating cancer with radiosurgery is now offered by the physicians of South Texas Oncology and Hematology. It is the Cyberknife, which gives patients a novel alternative in radiation. The CyberKnife delivers exact doses of radiation to tumors anywhere in the body, even tumors that are out of reach of other radiosurgery systems or traditional surgeries.

If deemed a candidate for Cyberknife, patients undergoing this state of the art treatment:

• Benefit from a painless, non invasive procedure.
• Complete the treatments in fewer sessions than conventional radiosurgery.
• Benefit from no recovery or rehabilitation time.
• Have the advantage of the maximum dose of radiation with sub-millimeter accuracy to the tumor without affecting healthy tissue.
• Have the benefit of treating multiple tumors in different locations during a single session.
• Have a reduction in infections, hemorrhage and loss of hearing and feeling, sometimes associated with conventional surgeries.
• Benefit from a convenient outpatient procedure.
