A robotic device called the
CyberKnife System is enabling
physicians to aggressively
treat tumors that were once
considered inoperable. It
delivers high-dose beams of
radiation to tumors anywhere
in the body from virtually any
direction. This minimizes
damage to surrounding healthy
tissue or structures -- like
the spinal cord. The system is
so advanced it can follow a
patient's movement to treat
lung tumors that move with
respiration.

Two years ago, Danny Davis was
diagnosed with
life-threatening stage-four
melanoma that spread to his
lung -- and faced the threat
of surgery to remove part of
his lung. Today, Danny is
living a normal life following
his painless, non-surgical,
outpatient treatment with the
CyberKnife System.

NOTE: Eligibility and
treatment outcome with the
CyberKnife System may vary
from patient to patient;
consult with a medical
professional.
