Introduction

CyberKnife is an advanced robotic radiosurgery system that delivers high-dose radiation with sub-millimeter accuracy — all without surgery, incisions, or hospitalization.
It uses real-time image guidance and a flexible robotic arm to track and treat tumors anywhere in the body, even those that move with breathing.
Türkiye is one of the world’s leading destinations for CyberKnife treatment, offering modern technology, experienced specialists, and a patient-centered care approach.
Averia Health ensures your CyberKnife journey is smooth, safe, and fully supported from consultation to recovery.
