New robotic radiosurgery platform offers faster, more precise, and more comfortable treatment for cancer patients in Southern California
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Unio Specialty Care is proud to announce the installation of the CyberKnife® S7™ robotic radiosurgery system at its community-based San Diego Radiation Oncology center. This next-generation system represents a major advancement in non-invasive cancer treatment, delivering high-dose radiation with sub-millimeter accuracy. The Cyberknife system significantly shortens treatment times to just 5 or less days vs the traditional 28 to 45-day treatment cycles.
The CyberKnife S7 combines advanced motion tracking and real-time adaptive treatment delivery, allowing physicians to treat tumors that move within the body — such as those in the lung or prostate — while protecting surrounding healthy tissue. Patients benefit from fewer side effects, shorter and fewer treatment sessions, and in many cases, Cyberknife is a non-surgical alternative for the treatment of inoperable tumors.
"The CyberKnife S7 sets a new standard for precision and patient experience," said Dr. Donald Fuller, Radiation Oncologist at Unio Specialty Care. "Because the treatment can now be completed in one to five sessions, patients who travel from farther away can complete their care in fewer visits, avoiding the need for multiple trips. We're excited to offer this groundbreaking technology to the San Diego community and surrounding areas."
Key benefits of the CyberKnife S7 system:
- Non-invasive, outpatient treatment — no incisions, no anesthesia, and no recovery time
- Faster treatment delivery, often completed in less than 30 minutes
- Fewer sessions needed —treatment is completed in 1 to 5 visits
- Real-time motion synchronization to track and treat moving tumors with precision
- Expanded treatment options for previously untreatable or recurrent tumors
The San Diego location will be one of only two cancer centers in California, and the only location in Southern California to offer the CyberKnife S7 system, furthering Unio Specialty Care's commitment to delivering cutting-edge, community-based specialty care across its network. Unio's community-based radiation oncology centers offer a convenient alternative to a large, complex health system campus.
