Many surgeons employ the
da Vinci Robotic Surgical System and use laparoscopic or thorascopic techniques for precise results, faster healing and fewer opportunities for infection.
Through PinnacleHealth-Fox Chase Regional Cancer Center you also have access to a breakthrough alternative to surgery, the
CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System for efficient treatments which involve no incisions and produce minimal or no side effects. This system brings hope to patients with tumors previously considered inoperable due to their location.
