CyberKnife®, an innovative treatment for cancers of the liver, is a non-invasive radiosurgery technique.
As Consultant Clinical Oncologists Andrew Gaya and Nick Plowman explain in the following articles, CyberKnife® technology is able to target tumours accurately and deliver radiation with sub-millimetre precision, making it possible to give a large radiation dose, lethal to the tumour, with little risk to the surrounding tissues and minimal side effects.
CyberKnife® has become a viable alternative option for both primary and secondary lung tumours. CyberKnife® treatment normally takes an hour and is given in up to five treatments. It is suitable for tumours all over the body and can be used as an alternative to invasive surgery when this is not possible.
In the following articles, doctors Nick Plowman, Andrew Gaya, and Chris Nutting give expert advice on CyberKnife®.
