One of the most revolutionary treatment procedures, CyberKnife radiosurgery has ushered a new era into healthcare and treatment sector for treatment of various kinds of cancer and tumors. 

CyberKnife is an innovative frameless stereotactic robotic radiosurgery system, designed to treat tumors occurring anywhere in the body with sub-millimeter accuracy.

By virtue of its accuracy of highest order, CyberKnife is considered as a technological breakthrough and a non-invasive alternative to surgery especially for treatment of inoperable tumors’. CyberKnife is a safer option for no option or high risk patients who were previously been considered untreatable with surgery or conventional radiation therapy.

Cyber Knife is a radiation delivery system that has a linear accelerator mounted of a robotic system to deliver high-energy x-rays or photons used in radiation therapy i.e. Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT).

The robot delivers radiation beam from various angles with pin point accuracy using real-time image guidance so that maximum dose of concentrated radiation reaches tumor while minimizing radiation amount to the surrounding healthy tissues.

CyberKnife Treatment System has been devised and designed to accommodate all forms of patient and tumor motion, even while the treatment is being delivered. The system is a non-invasive treatment for cancerous and non-cancerous tumors and other conditions throughout the body where radiation therapy is indicated, such as:

• Brain tumor

• Head and Neck cancers

• Lung cancer

• Pancreatic cancer

• Liver cancer

• Kidney cancer

• Prostate cancer

• Spinal cord tumor

• Breast cancer

In addition, CyberKnife also helps in the treatment of:

• Malformations of blood vessels within the brain

• Trigeminal neuralgia

• Metastatic orbital tumors, orbital lymphomas and orbital inflammations i.e. tumors or inflammations around the eye.

Cyberknife has also been used in Arteriovenous Malformation for patients who are not suitable for invasive surgery and has treated around 80% of patients treated successfully with reduction in the malformation within 3 years.

Although at an experimental stage, CyberKnife radiosurgery may also be employed in future to treat functional disorders like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Depression, Parkinsonism and Atrial Fibrillation.

How Successful Is CyberKnife Treatment In India?

CyberKnife treatment in India in the past few years has picked up considering its accuracy and success record. India has highly qualified and experienced surgeons and radiologists having international exposure for treating various cancers. As of now, many good hospitals are fully equipped with latest CyberKnife technology for treating various benign or malignant tumors with high success rates.

What Are The Benefits Or Why Choose CyberKnife?

The benefits of CyberKnife treatment include:

• No hospitalization

• No anesthesia

• No incisions

• No pain

• No  blood loss

• Immediate return to normal routine

Besides above benefits, you may choose CyberKnife treatment system as it promises Sub-millimeter accuracy and hence causes minimal radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissues and organs. 

It is non-invasive frameless procedure that does not require a head frame or painful immobilization device and hence convenient and produces assured results.

What Is The Cost Of CyberKnife Treatment In India?

Cyberknife treatment cost in India depends upon various factors such as:

• Doctors reputation and expertise

• Type of Hospital

• Organ to be treated

• Diagnostics and other investigations

• Number of procedures 

• Room category

Despite the Best Cyber Knife treatment in India, the patients can save up to 60-80% of cost in other countries for the similar procedure and hence considered extremely low.

Success Rate Of CyberKnife Treatment In India

CyberKnife treatment in India can be considered successful if survival rates are more.With CyberKnife treatment, high survival rates 97% to 100% for low-risk patients while survival rate of 88% to 97% for intermediate-risk patients of have been recorded.These results are far superior to the results obtained with other conventional radiation therapy.
