CyberKnife is an advanced, non-invasive radiosurgery system designed to precisely target tumours and lesions in the brain without the need for traditional surgery. It delivers highly focused radiation beams with sub-millimetre accuracy, effectively treating tumours while minimising damage to surrounding healthy brain tissue.

CyberKnife uses a robotic arm and real-time imaging to continuously track the tumour’s position and deliver radiation from multiple angles. Unlike traditional radiation therapy, which may require immobilisation with a rigid head frame, CyberKnife offers a comfortable and pain-free treatment experience without the need for incisions or anaesthesia.

CyberKnife is effective for treating a wide range of benign and malignant brain tumours, including:

• Meningiomas

• Vestibular schwannomas (acoustic neuromas)

• Gliomas (selected cases)

• Pituitary adenomas

• Metastatic brain tumours (cancer that has spread to the brain from other parts of the body)

It is also used to treat arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and trigeminal neuralgia.

CyberKnife may be an option for patients who:

• Have tumours that are small to medium-sized

• Are not candidates for traditional surgery due to tumour location or medical conditions

• Prefer a non-invasive treatment with minimal recovery time

• Require radiation re-treatment for recurrent brain tumours

A consultation with our specialists will determine whether CyberKnife is suitable for your condition.

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

• No head frame required – Unlike conventional stereotactic radiosurgery (e.g. Gamma Knife), CyberKnife does not require a rigid head frame to immobilise the patient

• High precision – Protects healthy brain tissue while targeting the tumour

• Minimal side effects – Lower risk of cognitive impairment or neurological damage compared to whole-brain radiation therapy

• Outpatient procedure – No hospital stay, and most patients resume normal activities the same day

• Experienced specialists – Our team has extensive expertise in treating complex brain tumours with CyberKnife

• Cost savings – Affordable treatment compared to private UK clinics

• Fast access to treatment – Avoid NHS waiting lists and receive care quickly

• Comprehensive patient support – We assist with travel, accommodation, and medical consultations

Most patients require 1 to 5 treatment sessions depending on tumour size, type, and location. Sessions are typically scheduled over 1-2 weeks.

• No surgery or anaesthesia is needed – You remain fully awake and comfortable.

• The robotic system adjusts in real time – It continuously tracks and adapts to any slight movements to ensure accuracy.

• Each session lasts 30–90 minutes, and you can leave immediately after treatment.

Side effects are generally mild and depend on tumour location. Some patients may experience:

• Temporary fatigue

• Mild headache or dizziness

• Swelling in the treatment area (rare, and usually managed with medication)

Most side effects resolve within days to weeks.

CyberKnife works by gradually shrinking the tumour over time. Follow-up scans will be scheduled to monitor progress, with results visible over weeks or months

Most patients stay for a few days to a week, depending on the treatment plan. We provide assistance with travel arrangements and accommodation to make your stay as smooth as possible.
