Media tour of Erlanger’s CyberKnife robot

You’ve seen the bobbing CyberKnife in Erlanger’s marketing campaign, and you’ve read that “Cancer Can’t Hide” from this robotic technology. Now see the remarkable CyberKnife in action from Erlanger’s “up close and personal” media tour.

After a brief CyberKnife presentation by Dr. Frank Kimsey, radiation oncologist, you’ll hear from a retired TVA engineer about his reasons for deciding that CyberKnife was the best option for treating his prostate cancer. Then you’ll have the opportunity to actually see CyberKnife in action and learn how this incredible technology is providing treatment options for inoperable tumors. And you’ll also find out about the debut of CyberKnife’s capabilities in treating inoperable lung tumors at Erlanger, the only clinical site in the region and one of the first clinical sites in the world to offer this advanced technology for lung cancer patients.
