You’ll begin with imaging, like CT or MRI, to map the exact tumor location. Your care team then creates a personalized plan and schedules your short CyberKnife sessions.

You’ll lie comfortably while a robotic arm moves around you, delivering radiation precisely. The system adjusts in real time, tracking tumor movement and ensuring accuracy.

You can usually go home the same day and resume daily activities quickly. Follow‑up visits ensure your progress is on track and guide any further care needed.

How many sessions will I need?

Many patients complete CyberKnife therapy in one to five outpatient sessions, each lasting about 30–60 minutes. Your plan is tailored to your tumor type and location.

Does CyberKnife hurt?

CyberKnife is painless. You won’t feel the radiation, and no anesthesia or incisions are required. Most people return to normal activities shortly after treatment.

What types of cancer can CyberKnife treat?

CyberKnife can target tumors in the brain, spine, lung, liver, pancreas, prostate, and more. It’s also used for certain non-cancerous conditions.

What is CyberKnife Therapy?

CyberKnife is a non‑invasive, robotic radiation system (SRS/SBRT) that delivers focused, high‑dose radiation precisely to tumors, without surgery, incisions, or anesthesia. It moves around the body, aligning thousands of beams to treat lesions anywhere they may occur.

Types of CyberKnife Applications

This therapy is customized per case, but consistently offers:

Robotic, real-time motion tracking, even during breathing or movement
Hypofractionated treatment, typically completed in 1–5 sessions each lasting about 30–60 minutes

When Is It Recommended?

CyberKnife is ideal when surgery isn’t an option, or when tumors are tricky to reach or near critical structures. It’s used for lesions in the brain, spine, lung, liver, pancreas, prostate, and more, and can treat non‑cancerous conditions, too.

Benefits and Risks

Benefits

Pinpoint accuracy minimizes radiation to healthy tissue, reducing side effects.
Quick, outpatient treatments, often completed in just a few sessions.
Painless and no anesthesia needed, allowing fast return to normal routines.

Risks

Most patients experience minimal side effects. Some may feel fatigue or mild localized symptoms depending on tumor location. Side effect risk is generally lower than with traditional radiation. Certain cases may require the implantation of fiducial markers inside the target.
