About the CyberKnife Centers of San Diego
The CyberKnife Centers of San Diego are proud to be the first centers in the San Diego Area to offer the revolutionary technology of the CyberKnife® Stereotactic Radiosurgery System.

The CyberKnife Centers of San Diego were developed in partnership between Radiation Medical Group, Western Cancer Center and other local medical and surgical specialists. We aim to deliver clinical excellence and compassionate care.

What We Treat
The CyberKnife® Radiosurgery System has a broad clinical application for both intracranial and extracranial radiosurgery. Clinical experience shows success in treatment of tumors in the head, neck and spine, as well as tumors of the lung, pancreas, liver, kidney, mediastinum, retroperitoneum and pelvis. When appropriate, we can also treat tumors in other areas of the body. Because CyberKnife® sharply sculpts dose and minimizes normal tissue radiation exposure compared with other systems,
it effectively treats recurrent lesions following conventional radiation therapy.
