Oklahoma CyberKnife is a service of Hillcrest Medical Center.
What is CyberKnife? The world’s only robo/c radiosurgery system, CyberKnife treats pa/ents with a procedure called stereotac(c radiosurgery. Stereotac/c radiosurgery is a noninvasive method of trea/ng tumors with high-‐dose radia/on precisely aimed from different angles.
How does CyberKnife work?
CyberKnife does not require surgery and there is no cu7ng or anesthesia required. Comprised of a compact linear accelerator -‐ a machine that generates a radia/on beam -‐ aDached to a highly maneuverable robo/c arm. • The machine’s robo/c arm moves around you, aiming
and firing targeted radia/on beams from numerous angles.
• The imaging and tracking system con/nually updates the tumor loca/on throughout the treatment procedure, compensa/ng for pa/ent movements like breathing.
• Treatment sessions typically last 30-‐90 minutes.

beams
The advanced tracking system takes x-‐ray
images to ensure the radia/on beam
remains locked on the tumor
If needed, the pa/ent returns for
up to 4 more treatments.
Follow-‐up Follow-‐up imaging
and physical consulta/on to monitor tumor’s

The US Radiosurgery Network
In partnership with Hillcrest Medical Center, Oklahoma CyberKnife is a US Radiosurgery facility. Based in Nashville, Tennessee, US Radiosurgery is a division of Alliance Oncology and partners with hospitals and physician groups around the U.S. to develop and operate full-‐body radiosurgical centers. Collec(vely, the US Radiosurgery network of centers has treated thousands of pa(ents since the opening of the company’s first center in 2003. The group of facili/es is ac/vely engaged in research, with physicians regularly presen/ng papers and authoring ar/cles related to the efficacy of CyberKnife treatment for various types of tumors and lesions. Tumors of the lung, brain and prostate, as well as certain func/onal disorders such as trigeminal neuralgia, have become key treatment areas throughout the network of centers.
