How CyberKnife Works

Mount Miriam Cancer Hospital offers one of the world’s latest technology cancer treatments – CyberKnife, the only one available in Malaysia & Singapore. Visit www.mountmiriam.com to learn more about this revolutionary cancer treatment technology.

The CyberKnife robotic radiosurgery system involves no cutting. For many patients, the CyberKnife treatment can offer a non-invasive alternative to surgery for the treatment of both cancerous and noncancerous tumors.

It is composed of a radiation delivery device, called a linear accelerator (or Linac), which is mounted on a robotic arm. The flexibility of the robotic arm enables the CyberKnife System to deliver radiation to tumors anywhere in the body, including the brain, head, and neck, spine, lung, prostate, liver, pancreas, breast and other soft tissues.

The CyberKnife system also utilizes sophisticated software and advanced imaging to track tumor and patient movement and adjust the beams of high-dose radiation to ensure treatment is delivered with a high degree of accuracy.

With the CyberKnife System, patients can complete treatment in one (1) to five (5) days, compared to the weeks it takes to complete a course of conventional radiation therapy. In addition, it provides a pain-free, non-surgical option for patients who have inoperable or surgically complex tumors, or who may be looking for an alternative to surgery.
