Advanced Cancer Technology from ProHealth Care's CyberKnife Center

Imagine cancer treatment with no incisions, no anesthesia and no hospital stay.

These are some of the benefits the revolutionary CyberKnife® has over more traditional therapies, such as other radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery.

Instead of surgically removing a tumor, CyberKnife uses a very precise form of radiation treatment that destroys cancer cells while minimizing injury to healthy tissues surrounding the tumor.

At the CyberKnife Center, an expert team of radiation oncologists, specialized surgeons, radiation therapists, medical physicists and a specialized oncology nurse care coordinator all collaborate on each patient's care. This multidisciplinary approach ensures a thorough and accurate diagnosis and a comprehensive treatment plan. The care coordinator guides patients through each step of the process - from diagnosis through treatment - helping with appointments, coordinating supportive care and answering questions.
