Overview

Did You Know?
Thanks to modern medical technology, the world now has a radiosurgery system designed to treat tumors anywhere in the body with sub-millimeter accuracy. The CyberKnife® Robotic Radiosurgery System represents the next generation of radiosurgery systems. Using image-guidance technology, a compact linear accelerator in the system can move in three dimensions to address the specific shape of a tumor. This combination, which is referred to as “intelligent robotics,” extends the benefits of radiosurgery to the treatment of tumors anywhere in the body. The CyberKnife? belongs to a new class of radiotherapy techniques called image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT). To date, the CyberKnife® System has been used to treat an estimated 40,000 patients worldwide.

But Why Travel for CyberKnife® Radiosurgery?
As with many other goods and services, the global marketplace has given rise to competition. Within the healthcare universe the result has been the creation of three distinct benefits for consumers when traveling internationally for medical services: a rise in higher quality care, an opportunity for dramatic cost savings, and a level of superior service and patient experience.
