“We chose the CyberKnife System because it enables us to deliver both radiosurgery and hypofractionated treatments, providing significant benefits for patients with a variety of indications including spinal and intracranial lesions and in some cases, metastatic lung, liver, and bone cancer,” said Professor Andrey Golanov, Head of the Stereotactic Radiotherapy and Radiosurgery Department, N.N. Burdenko National Scientific and Practical Center for Neurosurgery. “We are launching the training program to help other physicians and physicists optimize their use of the System. The Accuray – Burdenko agreement will enable us to provide our colleagues from other centers with training which will help them gain an understanding of what is required to support a successful CyberKnife System program at their center.”

The CyberKnife System delivers radiosurgery and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), enabling precise, high quality dose distributions to be confidently delivered to the patient with extreme accuracy over a minimum number of treatments, reducing side effects and preserving patients’ quality of life. It is the only System capable of tracking and automatically correcting for target motion in real time, even while the tumor moves. The System offers a non-invasive treatment option for precisely treating lesions of different sizes and locations, including tumors located near critical structures.
