CyberKnife is an advanced, non-invasive robotic radiosurgery system that delivers highly targeted radiation to tumours with sub-millimetre precision. Unlike traditional surgery, chemotherapy, or conventional radiotherapy, CyberKnife is painless, requires no incisions, and significantly reduces damage to surrounding healthy tissues.

CyberKnife is a more advanced and precise form of radiation therapy compared to conventional radiotherapy. Traditional radiation treatment typically requires 20 to 40 sessions spread over several weeks, whereas CyberKnife delivers higher doses of radiation in just 1 to 5 sessions, significantly reducing treatment time. One of its key advantages is its ability to track tumour movement in real-time, automatically adjusting the radiation beams to maintain accuracy. This means there is no need for rigid immobilisation devices, which are often required in traditional radiotherapy. Additionally, CyberKnife’s precision ensures that healthy surrounding tissues receive minimal exposure to radiation, reducing the risk of side effects. In contrast, conventional radiotherapy often affects nearby organs and tissues, leading to a higher likelihood of complications. CyberKnife’s patient-friendly approach, combined with its shorter treatment schedule and superior accuracy, makes it a preferred choice for many cancer patients seeking effective, non-invasive treatment.

• CyberKnife is non-invasive, meaning no incisions, bleeding, or risk of infection.

• No recovery time – Unlike surgery, which often requires weeks or months of healing, CyberKnife patients can return to daily activities immediately.

• Equally effective for certain tumours – In many cases, CyberKnife provides results comparable to surgery without the risks of anaesthesia or post-operative complications.

• CyberKnife is highly targeted, focusing only on the tumour, whereas chemotherapy is systemic, affecting the entire body.

• Fewer side effects – Unlike chemotherapy, which often causes nausea, fatigue, hair loss, and weakened immunity, CyberKnife has minimal side effects.

• Faster treatment process – While chemotherapy often involves multiple cycles over several months, CyberKnife typically requires only 1-5 treatment sessions.

CyberKnife is used to treat both benign and malignant tumours in various areas of the body, including:

• Brain & spine – Meningiomas, gliomas, acoustic neuromas

• Prostate – Localised and recurrent prostate cancer

• Lung – Early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and lung metastases

• Liver & pancreas – Primary liver tumours and pancreatic cancer

• Kidney & adrenal glands – Tumours that are inoperable or not suitable for surgery

• Head & neck – Cancers of the throat, mouth, and nasal passages

• Highly precise treatment with real-time tracking

• Non-invasive and painless – No need for anaesthesia, surgery, or hospitalisation

• Minimal impact on healthy tissues and organs

• Fewer side effects compared to chemotherapy and conventional radiotherapy

• Shorter treatment duration – usually completed in 1-5 sessions

• Quick recovery – return to normal activities immediately

For patients who are not candidates for surgery or wish to avoid its risks, CyberKnife offers a safe, effective, and comfortable alternative. It is particularly beneficial for tumours located near critical structures, where traditional treatments might pose a higher risk of complications.

Eligibility depends on factors such as tumour type, size, and location, as well as previous treatments received. Our team will review your medical records and imaging scans to determine whether CyberKnife is suitable for you.

• You will lie on a comfortable treatment table while the robotic system delivers radiation from multiple angles.

• The treatment is painless, and you remain awake throughout.

• Each session lasts between 30-90 minutes depending on the tumour size and location.

• You can go home immediately after each session.

CyberKnife is well-tolerated by most patients. Side effects depend on the treatment area but are generally mild and temporary, including:

• Fatigue

• Mild skin irritation (if treating external areas)

• Temporary swelling or discomfort in the treated area

Unlike traditional radiotherapy, CyberKnife significantly reduces the risk of long-term complications.

• Cutting-edge technology and experienced specialists

• Shorter waiting times compared to the NHS

• Affordable pricing without compromising quality

• Personalised treatment plans and full patient support, including travel assistance
