 , is now available at the J. Phillip Citta Regional Cancer Center.
Community Medical Center is the only hospital in Ocean County to offer this cutting edge technology.
CyberKnife treats patients through a procedure called stereotactic radiosurgery, a noninvasive method of treating tumors and other medical conditions with very precise, high-dose radiation. During treatment, patients lie on a table while the CyberKnife’s robotic arm moves around them, aiming radiation beams directly at the tumor and minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. CyberKnife involves no cutting and no anesthesia, and it requires no recovery time or overnight hospital stay.
According to Dr. David D’Ambrosio, radiation oncologist and medical director of the CyberKnife program at the J. Phillip Citta Regional Cancer Center, “While the name may invoke images of knives and scalpels, CyberKnife is actually a non-surgical treatment option that does not require incisions. This new technology can give hope to patients with inoperable or surgically complex tumors, as well as those seeking an alternative to conventional cancer surgery.”
If you have received a diagnosis of cancer, CyberKnife may offer dramatic new hope, as well as a better quality of life now and after treatment.
Talk to your physician about CyberKnife or contact us for more information. We will be happy to answer your questions.
