The Las Vegas CyberKnife Center offers a non-invasive, clinically proven alternative to surgery for treatment of kidney cancer. Using our CyberKnife System to precisely deliver a high dose of radiation to tumors, our doctors can effectively treat kidney cancer on an outpatient basis, with minimal side effects and no recovery time.

Many do not consider radiation therapy a viable option for kidney cancer, because extreme movement of the kidney during respiration or related to other bodily functions make it difficult to deliver radiation to the tumor. However, the CyberKnife System is giving new hope to patients who are considered inoperable, wish to avoid surgery, or wish to limit the side effects commonly associated with other treatment options.

The CyberKnife System offers a number of benefits for treating kidney cancer, such as:

• Pinpoint accuracy –The CyberKnife System can deliver radiation with sub-millimeter precision, sparring damage to healthy surrounding organs, tissues and structures.
• Innovative real-time imaging and motion-tracking technology ensure that radiation is delivered directly to the tumor.
• Minimized side effects, results in a better quality of life even on days of treatment.
• Non-surgical and non-invasive, which means patients suffer no pain, nor do they worry about incisions, bleeding or an extended recovery time.
• Outpatient treatments – No anesthesia or hospital stay, which lowers risks for complications.
• Only 1 to 5 short treatments, completed in less than 1 week, compared to conventional radiation treatments that can take 3 to 6 weeks of daily treatments to complete.
