Treatments

University Hospitals is the first hospital in Ohio to offer CyberKnife ® treatment for patients.

• The CyberKnife targets tumors anywhere in the body from more than 1,200 angles with sub-millimeter accuracy
  
  
• This non-invasive technology gives a pain-free alternative to traditional open surgery or radiation therapy
  
  
• Gives new hope for successful treatment of tumors and lesions previously diagnosed as untreatable or inoperable
  
  
• The tumor receives a high dose of radiation to destroy tumor cells but leaves the surrounding healthy tissue unharmed
  
  
• Advanced age or coexisting medical conditions do not affect the ability to receive CyberKnife treatment
  
  
• We have an expert interdisciplinary team of specialists from the Ireland Cancer Center, Neurological Institute and Radiation Oncology
  
  
• The CyberKnife System is based on radiosurgery technology that has been proven for over 30 years
  
  
• Over 40,000 patients have been successfully treated with the CyberKnife System
