A new medical device can deliver a concentrated beam of radiation into the body, destroying cancer cells without making a single incision. Anne Ruitman doesn't have cancer, but she demonstrated for us, wearing only street clothes, how easy it is to go under the Cyberknife. The radiosurgery robot is computer guided and uses a concentrated radiation beam to zero in only on a tumor. Collateral damage to normal tissue is minimal, if any at all, but the tumor is destroyed. The machine constantly tracks the cancer in real time, even as the patient breathes or moves slightly. Without a single incision, the beam kills cancers, like brain tumors, with sub-millimeter precision and without the need of a skull-piercing head frame.
