The CyberKnife Institute at Mercy Hospital, Miami’s first hospital-based CyberKnife® Robotic Radiosurgery System, will bring new hope to patients with inoperable or surgically complex tumors when it opens its doors January of 2010. The CyberKnife® Robotic Radiosurgery System, the latest version in the CyberKnife product line, is a non-invasive alternative to surgery for treatment of both cancerous and non-cancerous tumors anywhere in the body, including the prostate, lung, brain, spine, liver, pancreas and kidney.

“The CyberKnife system is very unique and sets itself apart from any other similar treatment. It delivers beams of high dose radiation to tumors with pin-point accuracy”

“The CyberKnife Institute at Mercy Hospital will put us in the forefront of non-invasive radiation oncology,” said John C. Johnson, President & CEO at Mercy Hospital. “With this new state-of-the-art technology, Mercy Hospital will be able to provide quality care to patients who at some point had lost all hope.”
