CyberKnife is a state-of-the-art, non-invasive radiotherapy system designed to precisely target and treat tumours and other medical conditions with sub-millimetre accuracy. Unlike traditional surgery or radiation therapy, CyberKnife does not require incisions or anaesthesia, making it a painless treatment option with minimal side effects.

CyberKnife uses advanced robotic technology and real-time imaging to deliver highly targeted radiation beams to tumours from multiple angles. This precision minimises damage to surrounding healthy tissues while maximising the dose to the tumour, enhancing treatment effectiveness. The system continuously tracks tumour movement, adjusting radiation delivery to ensure accuracy, even if the tumour moves due to natural body functions like breathing.

CyberKnife can be used to treat both benign and malignant tumours in various parts of the body, including:

• Brain and spine

• Prostate

• Lungs

• Liver

• Kidneys

• Pancreas

• Head and neck

It is also effective for certain cases of trigeminal neuralgia and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).

Eligibility for CyberKnife treatment depends on several factors, including the type, size, and location of the tumour, as well as the patient’s overall health. CyberKnife is often an option for patients who:

• Have tumours in areas where surgery would be too risky

• Are unable or unwilling to undergo traditional surgery

• Require re-treatment after previous radiation therapy

• Have small to medium-sized tumours that need precise targeting

Our medical team will assess your case to determine whether CyberKnife is the right treatment for you.

• Non-invasive – No incisions, no pain, and no need for general anaesthesia

• Minimal side effects – Healthy tissues are spared from radiation exposure

• Short treatment time – Most sessions last between 30–90 minutes

• Outpatient procedure – No hospital stay required, allowing a quick return to daily activities

• High precision – Advanced technology ensures targeted treatment, even for moving tumours

Latvia is home to a world-class medical facility offering CyberKnife treatment at a fraction of the cost compared to the UK. Here’s why patients choose CyberKnife Europe:

The number of sessions varies depending on the size and location of the tumour. Most patients require between 1 and 5 treatment sessions, typically completed within a week.

• You will lie comfortably on the treatment table while the CyberKnife system delivers radiation.

• There is no need for sedation, and you will remain awake throughout the procedure.

• The robotic arm will move around you, precisely delivering radiation from multiple angles.

• Treatment is painless, and you can leave the clinic immediately after the session.

CyberKnife is well-tolerated by most patients. Some may experience mild fatigue, skin redness, or temporary discomfort depending on the treatment area. However, side effects are generally minimal compared to traditional radiotherapy or surgery.

CyberKnife treatment works gradually, with tumour shrinkage occurring over weeks or months. Your doctor will schedule follow-up scans to monitor progress.

Most patients stay in Latvia for a few days to a week, depending on the number of sessions required. We can assist in arranging travel, accommodation, and any additional medical consultations needed.
