Cyberknife Treatment

Cyberknife treatment is a non-invasive, robotic radiation therapy technique used to treat various types of cancer and other medical conditions. It delivers highly precise radiation to targeted areas, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues.

The decision to undergo Cyberknife treatment is based on a comprehensive evaluation of the patient's medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic imaging tests, such as CT scans, MRI, or PET scans. These tests help determine the presence, location, and characteristics of the tumor or condition that can be treated using Cyberknife technology.

The cost of Cyberknife treatment can vary depending on factors such as the type and location of cancer, the number of treatment sessions required, and the specific healthcare facility. The cost may range from Rs. 2,00,000 to Rs. 10,00,000 or more.

A radiation oncologist is the right doctor to consult for Cyberknife treatment. They specialize in using radiation therapy to treat cancer and are trained in the use of Cyberknife technology.

• Cyberknife utilizes a robotic arm and advanced imaging technology, such as real-time CT scans or X-rays, to precisely target the tumor or affected area.

• Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) helps ensure accurate delivery of radiation, as the system continually adjusts the treatment beam based on real-time imaging.

• Respiratory motion tracking technology may be employed to compensate for organ movement caused by breathing, allowing precise radiation delivery even during respiratory cycles.
