Advantages of CyberKnife Radio Surgery over other
Radio Surgery Methods
CyberKnife® is the only FDA
approved completely Robotic
Stereotactic Radiosurgery
System available in the world
that targets and destroys
small and previously
inaccessible tumors or lesions
anywhere the body. As a non-
invasive “operation”,
CyberKnife has proven to be
an effective alternative to
surgery or conventional
radiation for treating vascular
abnormalities, tumors, functional disorders, and cancers with sub-millimeter accuracy.
CyberKnife gives renewed hope and the possibility of a better quality of life, especially
for patients with tumors previously diagnosed as inoperable, and for those who have
already received the maximum amount of radiation through other treatment methods.
CyberKnife uses advanced robotics and computer guidance to deliver precise radiation
beams to treat tumors anywhere in the body…even those previously thought untreatable
with other radiosurgery systems.A computer program evaluates the unique shape and

2. `
location of the tumor to determine the orientation of each of the 1,200 or more beams of
radiation that will target the tumor. Each tumor generally requires one to five
treatments, each lasting 45 to 90 minutes.
Cyberknife is the world's first and only robotic radiosurgery system which treats
tumours anywhere in the body without any surgery. Though it is called Radiosurgery or
Cyberknife- No knife is used for incision and no surgery is performed to treat the
tumours. A new hope for patients who have inoperable or surgically complex tumors, or
who may be looking for a non-surgical option.Cyberknife radiosurgery is a non –
invasive, high-energy radiation treatment that delivers very precise beams of radiation
from many angles outside the body. The accuracy of Cyberknife is so precise that
radiation can be 'matched' to the shape of small complex tumors, even those located
near critical organs. This ability allows Cyberknife totreat many lesions including some
considered inoperable or untreatable with surgery.
Conditions Cyberknife® Can Treat
The CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System treats both cancerous and
non-cancerous tumors anywhere in the body, including the prostate, lung,
brain, spine, liver, pancreas and kidney.It provides a pain-free, non-surgical
treatment tothe patients with complex tumours which are un operable or too risky to be
operated and to the patients who are looking for an alternative to surgery. Todate, more
than 100,000 patients have been successfully treated and more than 150 systems are
installed worldwide.
Benefits in India
CyberKnife is so precise and accurate that radiation beams can treat
small, complex tumors near critical structures such as hearing and vision
nerves:
 Surgical-like outcomes, without surgery
 Painless outpatient procedure…no head frames
 Does not carry the risks and complications associated with conventional surgery
 FDA approved to treat tumors and lesions throughout the body
 No anesthesia
 No recovery time…immediate return to normal activity

Cyberknife® Indications
 Lesions adjacent to radiosensitive structures
 Complex-shaped lesions
 Previously irradiated lesions precluding further external beam irradiation
 Recurrent lesions after surgery
 Lesions requiring difficult surgical approaches
 Patients who are too frail for surgery or refuse surgery
Radiosurgery Versus Radiotherapy in India
Radiosurgery is a form of radiotherapy. Both
deliver radiation but use different means and
doses to minimize the risk of radiation damage to
healthy tissue.
Standard radiotherapy delivers small daily doses of
radiation in multiple treatment sessions over
several weeks. Radiosurgery delivers radiation in
single high doses that conform closely to the tumor
shape, and fall off sharply at the edge of the tumor.
Treatments can typically be done in a single
session. For some patients with large tumors, the
target is divided into smaller targets, each of which
is treated with high doses in separate daily
sessions.
Stereotactic radiosurgery was once limited to brain tumors, but today it
may be used to treat other diseases and conditions, including : -
 Astrocytoma, Glioma, Glioblastoma Multiforme, Oligodendroglioma :
- CyberKnife offers superior conformance to tumour shape, which is important
especially for recurrence after surgery and conventional radiotherapy.
CyberKnife can also irradiate the tumour bed to delay or prevent recurrence.
 Brain metastases : - Radiosurgery may be equal to surgery for single
metastases and better for multiple metastases. Advanced imaging allows
CyberKnife® to treat those that are widely dispersed.
 Spinal Tumours : - CyberKnife® is regularly used to treat spinal metastases. It
may also serve as a treatment for many primary spinal tumours.
 Pituitary Adenoma : - CyberKnife's® staged treatments may help to avoid or
minimize the risk of visual loss and other side effects associated with single-

4. `
session radiosurgery. Its superior conformance minimizes irradiation of normal
tissue, including the optic chiasm and hypothalamus.
 Hemangioblastoma : - CyberKnife® non-invasively treats the tumour
nodule, usually in one session, even in hard-to-reach areas. This is especially
beneficial for Von Hippel Lindau disease patients who can become disabled by
multiple surgeries.
 Skull Base Tumours : - The proximity of these tumours to vital nerve and
vascular structures makes them surgically problematic.
 Meningioma :- For smaller meningiomas, radiosurgery is an ideally non-
invasive therapy. CyberKnife® is especially safe for meningiomas adjacent to
critical structures because it can be delivered in fractions.
 Neurofibroma & Schwannoma : - While these tumours' resistance to
radiation makes conventional radiotherapy an option only when surgery is not,
CyberKnife's® conformance makes it an effective alternative to radiation therapy
and surgery for selected patients.
 Acoustic Neuroma : - Studies show that CyberKnife® treatment in stages
offers the highest rates ever achieved for hearing and facial-nerve preservation
besides effective control of the tumour-growth.
 Intracranial AVMs : - With CyberKnife®, we can treat locations that can't be
safely approached with microsurgery or endovascular therapy. Selected AVMs
have an 80% chance of disappearing after a single treatment session though it
may take some time. CyberKnife® can also be used in conjunction with other
therapies to remove remnants.
 Spinal AVMs : - CyberKnife® is the first and the only system tooffer
radiosurgical treatment of spinal AVMs .It provides the same or even more
accuracy and success as for intracranial AVMs
