Determining if Cyber Knife Surgery is an Option for You
Only your doctor can tell you if Cyber Knife is the appropriate treatment option for you. Cyber Knife is effective among all ages, those who are medically compromised, and among those who are not candidates for traditional surgical techniques. Cyber Knife can also be included into treatment plans as an adjunct to traditional surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation. The Cyber Knife system is FDA approved to provide radiosurgery for lesions anywhere in the body when radiation treatment is indicated.
