We are pleased to announce that CyberKnife Cancer Institute of Chicago, Swedish Covenant Hospital’s new cancer care center located downtown, is now open and treating patients.
At Swedish Covenant Hospital, we understand that cancer treatments are often as difficult to face as the disease itself. We are also committed to keeping our patients as comfortable as possible by offering the most advanced cancer treatments and technology available. This 10,000-square-foot facility on Michigan Avenue is staffed by Swedish Covenant Hospital physicians and equipped with the CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery Systemtechnology, a virtually pain-free and recovery-free treatment for cancer.
Despite the name, Cyberknife treatments involve no cutting or surgery. Similar to radiation treatments, this technology uses beams of high-dose radation with pinpoint precision to treat complex tumors in the body while protecting surrounding healthy tissue. However, Cyberknife is unique in its benefits for patients:
• Painless
• Non-invasive
• Requires no incisions
• Requires virtually no recovery time
• Has zero side effects
• Has low risk for complications
This technology, combined with the expertise of our doctors and nurses, will help beat your cancer and get back to your daily life faster.
