When patients are diagnosed with cancer, one of the most important decisions they face is choosing the right treatment approach. Many are looking for options that are effective, precise, and minimally disruptive to daily life.
In a recent Colorado & Company (Channel 9) segment, Dr. Stamato, Radiation Oncologist, and Patti Moyer, Radiation Therapist, at Anova Cancer Care discussed the benefits of CyberKnife and how it is transforming modern cancer treatment, making it a leading option for patients across the country.
Watch Our Specialists Explain CyberKnife Treatment
What Is CyberKnife Cancer Treatment?
CyberKnife is an advanced form of stereotactic radiosurgery that delivers highly targeted radiation directly to cancer tumors with extreme precision.
Unlike traditional radiation therapy or surgery, CyberKnife:
- Does not require incisions or hospitalization
- Minimizes damage to surrounding healthy tissue
- Delivers radiation with sub-millimeter accuracy
- Can treat tumors throughout the body, including the prostate, brain, lung, liver, pancreas, and kidneys
At Anova Cancer Care, we specialize exclusively in this technology, making us the only full-time radiosurgery practice in the Denver area using CyberKnife.
How CyberKnife Works
Before treatment begins, our clinical team uses advanced imaging such as CT, MRI, PET, or ultrasound scans to create a detailed 3D map of the tumor.
During treatment:
- A robotic system delivers radiation from hundreds of angles
- The system continuously tracks tumor position in real time
- Adjustments are made automatically for even the smallest movement, including breathing
- Treatment is customized based on tumor size, shape, and location
CyberKnife’s precision allows us to target cancer cells while protecting nearby healthy tissue as much as possible.
Key Benefits of CyberKnife Treatment
Non-Invasive and Outpatient
No surgery, no incisions, and no hospital stay required.
Highly Precise Targeting
Radiation is delivered with sub-millimeter accuracy to focus on the tumor while sparing healthy tissue.
Fewer Treatments
Most patients complete treatment in 1 to 5 sessions over one to two weeks, compared to several weeks of traditional radiation.
Minimal Disruption to Daily Life
Patients typically return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
Reduced Side Effects
Because of its precision, CyberKnife significantly reduces many of the side effects associated with conventional cancer treatments.
