Accuray has installed its CyberKnife S7 radiation therapy system at the Carti Cancer Center in Little Rock, AR, and the system has begun treating patients.
The CyberKnife procedure is usually completed in one to five outpatient sessions. The company said this allows for a shorter overall course of treatment compared to conventional radiation therapy.
The system delivers stereotactic radiosurgery and stereotactic body radiation therapy. Patients who undergo these treatments receive a higher dose of radiation per session across fewer total sessions than patients who receive conventional radiation therapy.
Accuracy said the Carti team’s use of the CyberKnife system will expand access to precision radiation therapy to patients throughout Arkansas.
