CyberKnife® Stereotactic Radiosurgery System - Washington, DC |
 | | Two years after its installation, Georgetownâs CyberKnife continues to prove its mettle and versatility in battling hard-to-treat tumors and lesions. |
 | | While two-thirds of cases involve the central nervous system â“ the original focus for the stereotactic radiosurgical device â“ Georgetownâs physicians and researchers are also among the most experienced in the world at using CyberKnife to ablate soft-tissue tumors, treating more than 50 lung, pancreas and liver lesions to date. |
 | | But because such tumors may move with the patientâs every breath, they pose special operational challenges. |
