An advanced form of radiosurgery that is used for treating benign and malignant tumors and also for other medical conditions, Cyberknife is the first robotic device to be used in radiotherapy.

Cyberknife for treatment in India is used often for treating prostate cancer but it is also an option looked for other types of cancers as well.How does it work?
While the procedure is referred to commonly as cyberknife treatment, it is SBRT or Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy used for killing cancerous cells without invading the healthier cells around them. An external radiation beam is used in this process and is often referred to as radiosurgery. While the name of the instrument is a knife, it does not involve making any cuts or incisions of any kind for this process. Large radiation doses are targeted on the tumor cells to kill the tumor cells completely without affecting the healthy tissue. An image-guided technique is used to ensure that only the cancer cells are targeted and other cells are left unaffected. It is best suited for any inoperable or complex tumors or for any conditions that involve radiation therapy. It is performed in 1 to 5 sessions depending on the growth of the tumor and has been a boon to many cancer patients. The cyberknife instrument comprises a robotic arm that moves around the patient to deliver doses of radiation through unique angles of beam concentrating on the cancer cells without damaging the healthy tissues around it. The real-time image guidance helps in the effective delivery of the radiation and the cyberknife treatment can be used for all kinds of tumors.Benefits of cyberknife treatment
