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  target  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.

Why Choose CyberKnife?

•  Treats  pa/ents  in  as  few  as  one  to  five  visits  •  Pain  free  and  requires  no  anesthesia  •  Minimal  side  effects  •  Outpa/ent  procedure    •  Constantly  corrects  for  tumor  or  pa/ent      

movement  throughout  procedures  

•  Reaches  most  tumors  from  virtually  unlimited  direc/ons  with  robo/c  mobility  

•  Minimizes  radia/on  exposures  to  surrounding  healthy  /ssue  

•  Lesions  previously  treated  with  maximum  allowed  radia/on  doses  may  be  treated

Technicians  help  you  onto  the  

treatment  table  

CyberKnife’s  robo/c  arm  moves  around  you  firing  targeted  radia/on  

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.

and  physical  consulta/on  to  monitor  tumor’s  

progress  

*The  procedures  required  as  part  of  your  individualized  treatment  plan,  and  the  order  in  which  they  will  occur,  will  be  explained  during  your  consulta/on  visit.

Our Center Opened  in  2011,  Aus/n  CyberKnife  was  the  first  in  the  greater  Aus/n  area,  as  well  as  the  central  Texas  region,  to  offer  CyberKnife  treatment  giving  our  physicians  the  most  experience  trea/ng  pa/ents  with  stereotac/c  radiosurgery  treatment.  We  are  one  of  the  first  centers  in  the  world  to  install  the  Lung  Op/miza/on  Treatment  (LOT)  system,  which  expands  our  ability  to  treat  lung  tumors  in  certain  types  of  pa/ents.  Although  CyberKnife  treatment  does  not  require  anesthesia,  our  center  is  one  of  the  only  facili/es  in  the  country  that  provides  general  anesthesia  for  pa/ents  who  may  need  to  be  sedated  during  treatment.    Aus/n  CyberKnife  is  a  department  of  University  Medical  Center  Brackenridge.  The  hospital  is  a  member  of  the  Seton  Healthcare  Family,  which  is  a  Na/onal  Cancer  Ins/tute  Community  Cancer  Centers  Program  site.

The US Radiosurgery Network

In  partnership  with  University  Medical  Center  Brackenridge,  Aus/n  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.
