CyberKnife is a radiosurgical machine that concentrates radiation beams on tumor structures without affecting more than a millimeter of the surrounding normal tissue. This robotic arm can zap radiation from hundred of angles and at a lower level. CyberKnife treatments are much lower than the traditional radiation therapy. Three days are equivalent to six weeks.
