The spinal cord sends messages from the brain to various parts of your body, allowing your organs to function and allowing you to control movements like walking. That is why, when it comes to treating tumours in or near the spine's complex and delicate tissues and structures, precision is critical. The CyberKnife S7 System is a painless, non-invasive treatment option for cancers and/or metastases at any point on the spine, including complicated neurosurgical cases.
The CyberKnife S7 System is the first and only radiotherapy device to offer true robotic precision as well as the ability to track, detect, and adapt to tumour motion in real time. The system uses stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to treat spine lesions in a single or few sessions, delivering high doses of precisely targeted radiation to destroy tumours while minimising radiation exposure to nearby healthy tissues surrounding the tumour.
The CyberKnife S7 Systems provides effective tumour control and may provide significant pain relief after spine tumour treatment. 1 Patients who are ineligible for surgery or whose tumours cannot be completely removed surgically can benefit from CyberKnife SRS's unrivalled sub-millimeter accuracy.
No incisions or general anesthesia required — an outpatient procedure with minimal recovery time.
High rates of tumor control at the treated site, reducing the risk of local recurrence.
Highly targeted dosing spares surrounding healthy tissue, lowering both acute and long-term side effects compared with conventional radiotherapy.
Treatments are typically completed in 1–5 sessions over 1–2 weeks, minimizing disruption to daily life.
Most patients can carry on with normal activities during and shortly after treatment, with little to no interruption to daily routines.
