Conditions treated with CyberKnife

Patients with tumors in a variety of locations may benefit from CyberKnife treatment, including:

• Patients who have been told their tumors could not be removed by surgery or the surgery would be too complicated or risky
• Patients who prefer an alternative to surgery
• Patients who prefer an alternative to radiosurgery that requires a frame to stabilize the patient, or to conventional internal or external radiation therapy
• Patients who have had a tumor removed previously and do not want to have another surgery to remove a recurrent or residual tumor
• Patients who have received the maximum allowable dose of radiation through traditional radiation therapy but still require treatment
