Cyberknife

Benefits of Cyberknife

  • Alternative to conventional open surgery
  • Pain-free
  • Non-invasive
  • Can be generally done as an Out-Patient procedure
  • No anaesthetic required
  • No recovery time
  • No blood loss
  • Lesions/tumours that have previously had the maximum dose of standard radiation can be treated
  • Lower risks than with conventional surgery
  • Treatment of lesions/tumours previously untreatable by surgery or standard radiation
  • Can often achieve comparable or better outcomes than conventional surgery
  • The ability to give stronger more accurate doses of radiation directly to the tumour means that the number of treatment doses can be shortened.
  • The risk of radiological damage to normal surrounding healthy tissues is minimised greatly
  • Increased patient comfort due to the elimination of the invasive head frame
  • Immediate return to normal activity
