CyberKnife is a precise, painless and non-invasive radiation treatment for cancer and neurosurgical treatments such as for trigeminal neuralgia.
A small linear accelerator (linac) is mounted on a robotic arm which manoeuvres with exceptional agility around the patient and a scanner tracks the tumour through small body movements.

The position of the tumour is recalculated between each of many precisely tuned doses of radiation, which are delivered from many different angles and positions, focussing tightly on the lesion to be treated.
CyberKnife can treat complex tumours wrapped around sensitive structures such as nerves or blood vessels, where surgeons cannot operate.

In most cases the treatment is painless so there is no need for anaesthesia. There is no incision so there is no open wound at risk of infection. After treatment there is no recovery time so you simply resume normal activities. For a quick guide to treatments offered, please visit the CyberKnife treatments page.
