Medical world is developing with new treatment technologies and treatment methods. CyberKnife is one new method been introduced. It is the robotic radiosurgery system designed to treat tumor which is present in any part of the body. CyberKnife is said to be the first and only robotic radiosurgery system. The treatment will take only 30 to 90 minutes for one patient.Normally for cancer treatment radiotherapy will be the best.
Every Cancer patient will undergo radiotherapy.If you have any problem in surgery then you can undergo cyberknife treatment.

How the cyberknife treatment is been done
The cyberknife treatment uses lightweight linear accelerator which is been fixed or placed in the robot arm, which will help to give the radiation to the target or found out tumor inside the human body. The treatment will take up to 30 to 90 minutes, according to the type and place of tumor the time will vary. It is the most advanced and new method form as radio surgery. It is the painless treatment. The treatment uses robotic arm to focus the tumor and pass the radiation into it.This cyberknife treatment can be done in
- Brain
- Lung
- Spine
- Liver
- Pancreas
- kidney
The cyberknife will produce and give high range radio therapy which will create a hope for the patient. This method was introduced to make the patient comfortable and with a good result. This treatment does not require any stability frames and breath holding techniques. The treatment will take over a period of one to five days. In each day the therapy will be of thirty to ninety minutes. In this process the radiation will be passed to the affected part and Cyberknife will be in full observation of the patient.
If the patient moves the tumor position changes and the machine it self observe all the things and pass the radiation. The robotic arms are flexible so that they can move in all directions to cure it or to pass the radiation into the body. By doing this treatment it won’t cause any damage to vessels nerves or vital organs. This is the best method for patients who do not wish to undergo surgery. This method can be used to cure the tumor which is inside the body and which cannot be reached by operation or other methods.
The advantages or benefits of this treatment
The tumor which is present in the body or which was not able to cure through surgery or any other method, Cyberknife can pass radiation and cure it. The complication is less in this method, it is one of the easiest methods in the radiology. This process is a pain free, they patient can undergo this treatment without any tension.
The treatment will take maximum of five section. This method does not need anesthesia. No blood will be loosed or no mark will be present in this process. After each section the patient can travel back to home.

- Initial consultation
- Fiducial placement
- CT scan
- Tumor mapping
