CyberKnife Treatment is a non-invasive, highly precise form of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) that uses a computer-controlled robotic system to deliver focused beams of radiation to tumors and other abnormal tissues. Despite its name, CyberKnife does not involve a surgical incision or a traditional surgical knife. It can be used to treat selected tumors in the brain, spine, lung, liver, prostate, and other parts of the body, depending on the patient's condition. The treatment is designed to target abnormal tissue while minimizing radiation exposure to surrounding healthy structures.
Patients with Suitable Tumors
Individuals with certain localized tumors or abnormal growths that can be precisely targeted with stereotactic radiation therapy.
Patients Who Cannot Undergo Conventional Surgery
People for whom traditional surgery may carry significant risks due to the tumor's location, overall health, or other medical factors.
Patients with Recurrent or Residual Tumors
Individuals with tumors that have returned or remain after previous surgery or other cancer treatments and may benefit from focused radiation therapy.
Detailed Imaging & Treatment Planning
Your radiation oncology team uses CT, MRI, or other imaging techniques to precisely identify the tumor and map its location in relation to nearby healthy tissues.
Robotic Radiation Delivery
The CyberKnife system delivers multiple highly focused radiation beams from different angles, concentrating the radiation dose on the targeted area while minimizing exposure to surrounding tissues.
Treatment Monitoring & Follow-Up
The system uses image guidance during treatment to account for patient movement and, where appropriate, tumor motion. Follow-up imaging and consultations are used to evaluate the treatment response.

Your Treatment Journey
Before Procedure
- You will undergo detailed imaging and treatment-planning assessments to determine the exact location and size of the target.
- Your radiation oncology team will explain the treatment schedule, expected benefits, potential side effects, and precautions.
- Depending on the treatment area, you may receive specific preparation instructions before each session.
During Procedure
- CyberKnife treatment is non-invasive, so no surgical incision is required.
- Treatment may be delivered in one session or several sessions, depending on the type, location, and size of the target.
- You generally remain awake during treatment, while the robotic system delivers precisely focused radiation beams.
After Procedure
- Most patients can return home the same day and resume normal activities relatively quickly, depending on the treatment area and their overall condition.
- Some patients may experience temporary fatigue, swelling, or other treatment-specific side effects.
- Follow-up imaging and specialist consultations are scheduled to assess how the tumor or targeted tissue responds over time.
