Columbus CybeKnife is a service of Mount Carmel St. Ann's Hospital.
What is CyberKnife? The world’s only robo/c radiosurgery system, CyberKnife treats pa/ents with a procedure called stereotac(c radiosurgery. Stereotac/c radiosurgery is a noninvasive method of trea/ng tumors with high-‐dose radia/on precisely aimed from different angles.
How does CyberKnife work?
CyberKnife does not require surgery and there is no cu7ng or anesthesia required. Comprised of a compact linear accelerator -‐ a machine that generates a radia/on beam -‐ aDached to a highly maneuverable robo/c arm. • The machine’s robo/c arm moves around you, aiming
and firing targeted radia/on beams from numerous angles.
• The imaging and tracking system con/nually updates the tumor loca/on throughout the treatment procedure, compensa/ng for pa/ent movements like breathing.
• Treatment sessions typically last 30 -‐ 90 minutes.

Why Choose CyberKnife?
• Treats pa/ents in as few as one to five visits • Pain free and requires no anesthesia • Minimal side effects • Outpa/ent procedure • Constantly corrects for tumor or pa/ent movement
throughout procedures
• Reaches most tumors from virtually unlimited direc/ons with robo/c mobility
• Minimizes radia/on exposure to healthy /ssue surrounding a tumor site
• Lesions previously treated with maximum allowed radia/on doses may be treated

What is the treatment process?
Consulta/on Appointment
Meet with the CyberKnife team
Create an individualized treatment plan
Poten/al Pretreatment Procedures*
CT Scan MRI Lab Studies Tissue Markers
(extracranial tumors or lesions)
CyberKnife Treatment
Technicians help you onto the
treatment table
CyberKnife’s robo/c arm moves around you firing targeted radia/on
beams
The advanced tracking system takes x-‐ray
images to ensure the radia/on beam
remains locked on the tumor
If needed, the pa/ent returns for
up to 4 more treatments.
Follow-‐up Follow-‐up imaging
and physical consulta/on to monitor tumor’s
progress
*The procedures required as part of your individualized treatment plan, and the order in which they will occur, will be explained during your consulta/on visit.

Our Center Opened in June 2010, Columbus CyberKnife combines experienced physicians and the latest medical advances. Medical Director Dr. Douglas Widman is board cer/fied in radia/on oncology and a member of the American Society for Radia/on Oncology. He has a special research interest in stereotac/c radiosurgery. Our center has treated pa/ents from around Ohio as well as bordering states such as West Virginia. Based on pa/ent sa/sfac/on surveys, Columbus CyberKnife has scored over 95% in all categories of pa/ent experience measurement, which examines various factors such as communica/on with doctors and staff, quality of care and likelihood of recommending the facility to others.

The US Radiosurgery Network
In partnership with the Mount Carmel Health System, Columbus CyberKnife is a US Radiosurgery facility. Based in Nashville, Tennessee, US Radiosurgery is a division of Alliance Oncology and partners with hospitals and physician groups around the U.S. to develop and operate full-‐body radiosurgical centers. Collec(vely, the US Radiosurgery network of centers has treated thousands of pa(ents since the opening of the company’s first center in 2003. The group of facili/es is ac/vely engaged in research, with physicians regularly presen/ng papers and authoring ar/cles related to the efficacy of CyberKnife treatment for various types of tumors and lesions. Tumors of the lung, brain and prostate, as well as certain func/onal disorders such as trigeminal neuralgia, have become key treatment areas throughout the network of centers.
