The CyberKnife Center of Miami will begin accepting and treating cancer patients requiring radiosurgery on referral from the Bahamas Cancer Center in Nassau.

According to Dr. James G. Schwade, Executive Director of CyberKnife Centers of Miami and Palm Beach, “The CyberKnife Center in Miami while independent, and not affiliated with any hospital works with 150 physicians throughout the world. This is our second official collaboration with a medical facility that treats cancer patients. We are eager to work with any medical facility requiring assistance with radiosurgery treatment.”

The CyberKnife® represents an entirely new approach to radiosurgery. The CyberKnife is not a knife at all, but a sophisticated radiation tool that, like the surgeon’s scalpel, can effectively eradicate tumors and lesions. It can deliver an atomic bomb’s dose of radiation to a very precise target through a laser beam, effectively killing the cancer cells.
