CyberKnife is an advanced form of stereotactic radiosurgery used to treat tumors and certain
medical conditions with extremely high precision. Despite the name, CyberKnife is not a traditional surgical procedure and does not involve any incisions. Instead, it uses highly focused radiation beams to target tumors while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue.
CyberKnife technology combines robotics, real‑time imaging, and computer‑controlled radiation delivery to treat tumors anywhere in the body. It is widely used for treating brain tumors, spine tumors, lung tumors, prostate cancer, liver tumors, and other difficult‑to‑reach cancers.
CyberKnife is a robotic radiation therapy system designed to deliver very precise high‑dose radiation to tumors. The system uses a robotic arm that moves around the patient and delivers radiation beams from many different angles.
Unlike conventional radiation therapy, CyberKnife can track tumor movement in real time. This is particularly important for tumors that move during breathing, such as lung or liver tumors. The system automatically adjusts
the radiation beam to maintain precise targeting throughout the treatment.
CyberKnife can be used to treat many types of tumors and medical conditions, including:
Since CyberKnife treatment is non‑invasive, recovery is typically very fast. Most patients can resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.
Some patients may experience mild fatigue or temporary symptoms depending on the area treated, but serious side effects are generally less common compared to traditional surgery.
CyberKnife may be recommended for patients who:
A specialist oncologist or radiation oncologist will determine whether CyberKnife is the best treatment
option based on the patient’s condition and medical evaluation.
CyberKnife offers several advantages compared to traditional surgery or conventional radiation therapy:
