The world's most accurate radiosurgery weapon has arrived. With the sub-millimeter precision of state-of-the-art intelligent robotics, the CyberKnife® blasts tumors with high doses of x-rays with minimal effects on nearby healthy cells. And the CyberKnife® tackles tumors throughout the body -including those in delicate areas (such as the spine, brain, lung and prostate) - even those deemed inoperable. Because it's so effective, patients might need 2 or 3 treatments instead of the standard 20 or 30. The CyberKnife® is totally non-invasive, so treatments are painless. The CyberKnife® offers:
•Unprecedented targeting accuracy
•Unrivaled conformality and dose gradient
•Unparalleled health tissue preservation
•Treatments anywhere in the body
The Cyberknife®
The CyberKnife®, made by Accuray, is the only FDA-approved, completely robotic, 
stereotactic radiosurgery system available in the world that targets and destroys small and previously inaccessible tumors or lesions anywhere in the body. As a non-invasive operation, CyberKnife® has proven to be an effective alternative to surgery or conventional radiation for treating vascular abnormalities, tumors, functional disorders and cancers with sub-millimeter accuracy.
The CyberKnife® uses image guidance coupled with computer controlled robotics to continuously track and correct for patient movement throughout treatment. During treatment, the CyberKnife® continuously acquires radiographic images of the patient and in real time analyzes and compares these images to reference images to ensure patients’ correct treatment positioning. We collaborate with specialists, allowing referring physicians to remain involved in the planning and execution of the CyberKnife® treatments. HOA and the physician specialty team are committed to maintaining patient relationships throughout treatment. To date, more than tens of thousands of patients have been treated with the CyberKnife® System worldwide. Most patients experience dramatic responses in only a few treatment sessions. HOA is the only provider of CyberKnife® services in Central New York.
