CyberKnife® radiosurgery

How it works | What to expect | Information for physicians | Our team

Revolutionary cancer treatment; 1 of only 40 in U.S.

Aurora Health Care is the first to offer CyberKnife technology to Wisconsin, which make treatment possible for the most complex and difficult tumors.

Every day, we’re working to find new ways to treat life-threatening illnesses. CyberKnife is a revolutionary new treatment that combines real-time image guidance, dynamic motion tracking and the precision of modern technology to provide non-invasive ways to treat cancers once inoperable.

CyberKnife uses robotics to allow doctors unheard of precision to target malignant and benign growths. Plus, as it’s completely non-invasive -- all treatments are done on an outpatient basis. CyberKnife not only saves lives it also saves patients months of potentially painful recovery time.

CyberKnife patient benefits

  • No incisions
  • No blood
  • No pain
  • No anesthesia
  • No stereotactic frame
  • No recovery time

We’re proud to be the first in Wisconsin to offer this important new treatment. It’s our commitment to ensure that we do everything in our power to ensure that every one of our patients gets the finest care available.
