WHAT IS CYBERKNIFE?
The Philadelphia CyberKnife Center offers a revolutionary new process for treating tumors, with no invasive procedures or anesthesia. The CyberKnife is a computer-controlled radiosurgery system that delivers radiation to tumors in the brain, spine and anywhere in the body with sub-millimeter accuracy while avoiding damage to surrounding healthy tissue. This pinpoint accuracy allows physicians to reach cancerous and benign tumors and abnormal tangles of blood vessels (vascular malformations) that in the past may have been impossible to treat.

PROSTATE CANCER
One in six men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetime. This makes a man 35% more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer than a woman is to be diagnosed with breast cancer. Approximately 192,000 new cases are diagnosed annually, and 27,000 men die from the disease each year. It is the most common non-skin cancer in the United States, as there are believed to be two million men suffering from prostate cancer throughout the nation.
