CyberKnife Center

Tumor. It's a frightening word, especially when it's used to describe your health, or the health of someone you care about. It can be even more frightening if the tumor is difficult to treat.

With CyberKnife® technology, difficult to treat tumors are becoming a thing of the past.

First in the area

Southwest Washington Medical Center is proud to be the first in the Portland/Vancouver metropolitan area and southwest Washington to offer the revolutionary technology of the CyberKnife Stereotactic Radiosurgery.

CyberKnife Radiosurgery brings new hope for patients with tumors and lesions that previously have been diagnosed as inoperable or untreatable with existing technology.

Painless treatments
CyberKnife treatments are not invasive, with no incisions or blood loss. Most patients are treated in one to five treatments, each lasting 45 to 90 minutes per tumor.

Most patients go home the same day with minimal to no side effects. Learn more about the treatment process or request a free patient information guide.

What we treat
CyberKnife technology is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat benign and malignant tumors throughout the body. The most common sites include: brain, neck and spine. More common use has expanded to include tumors of the lung, pancreas, liver, kidney and pelvis.

The Cyberknife has been very useful and effective for treatment despite prior radiation therapy and/or when other treatment options have been exhausted.
