Any information on Cyberknife?

0 Recommendations

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had any information/experience with the radiation treatment called Cyberknife? It is currently not being offered in the state I am living in and am trying to gather as much information for my mom. I heard it works very well for cancer that has spread to the bone. Thanks so much.

I had it last summer. It eventually stabilized a large tumor in my upper right lobe. I would use it if I had spine mets because it is so accurate and the spinal column could be protected.

Hello,
My mom had CyberKnife last fall and it worked well on her brain mets. They came back later after the cancer spread to her bones but when the tumors were localized in the brain Cyberknife worked perfectly.

Best wishes.

Thank you so much for your replies! I will continue to look more in to them. Also, where did you guys receive the treatment? I live in Hawaii and so far it seems like the Bay Area in San Francisco or Japan would be the closest location to go to for this.
