Gamma Knife Vs. Cyberknife
Gamma Knife Information
Competition to treat benign and malignant brain lesions, vascular malformations and functional conditions with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has increased dramatically in recent years. All-in-one systems like the CyberKnife are aggressively positioning themselves as being comparable to the Leksell Gamma Knife® in effectiveness and efficiency.
As the first and longest running Gamma Knife Center in the state of New Jersey, the Gamma Knife treatment team at JFK Medical Center feels compelled to set the record straight.
Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery is the gold standard for the treatment of intracranial SRS procedures and is the only device on the market dedicated to the treatment of intracranial disease. Its clinical efficacy has been documented over four decades, with more than 500,000 cases treated worldwide, providing the data for more than 2,500 publications in peer-reviewed medical literature. It is used as the performance metric against which other technologies (such as CyberKnife) are measured.
