Palo Alto, Calif.-based Stanford University Medical Center is expanding access to neurosurgery treatments by acquiring a second CyberKnife M6 system.
Designed by Accuray, CyberKnife is a robotic system that treats diseases and tumors in the brain and base of the skull through stereotactic radiosurgery.
The device delivers a high-dose radiation treatment to eradicate all tissue within a tumor.
Stanford treated its first patient with an early CyberKnife system 25 years ago.
The new CyberKnife device will be installed at the Stanford Neuroscience Health Center.
