Pre Procedure
1. What is CyberKnife treatment?
It is a non-invasive treatment for cancerous and non-cancerous tumors with the help of radiation therapy. It is used to treat conditions throughout the body, including the prostate, lung, brain, spine, head and neck, liver, pancreas, and kidney.
2. What are the benefits of CyberKnife?
It is non-invasive, does not require a headframe or painful Immobilization device, and is able to reach areas of the body previously thought untreatable.
3. Can I eat or drink before my CyberKnife treatment?
Yes, you can eat or drink before your treatment because it will not affect your treatment at all.
4. Is CyberKnife clinically proven?
The CyberKnife System is based on radiation technology that has been proven for more than 30 years, and thousands of patients have received CyberKnife treatments worldwide.
5. How can I prepare for a CyberKnife treatment?
Before your treatment, you will undergo a CT scan which helps in determining the shape, size, and location of the prostate. You will also go for an MRI scan to fully visualize the prostate.
During Procedure
1. How long does the CyberKnife procedure take?
Generally, each CyberKnife treatment lasts between 30 to 90 minutes. The number of treatments varies depending on the tumor size, location, and shape.
2. Do I need anesthesia for CyberKnife treatment?
No anesthesia is required for the treatment because these sessions are completed on an outpatient basis.

CyberKnife has local control and effectiveness that is equivalent to surgery. However, due to its non-invasive nature, the risk of side effects is significantly lower with CyberKnife.

The Cyberknife always hits exactly the tumor - the healthy tissue is optimally protected. A precision robot accurately places the high dose of radiosurgical drugs from many directions in the tumor.

CyberKnife uses an approach called stereotactic body radiation therapy, delivering precise doses of radiation with extreme accuracy and accounting for a tumor or patient movement in real-time.
