Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide and is one of the more recent additions to the CyberKnife® treatment repertoire. It is currently being used as monotherapy treatment for early stage prostate cancer or as a boost following conventional radiation therapy.
For more information on treatments for prostate cancer we suggest that you visit the prostate cancer page of the CyberKnife manufacturer's web site. As protocols are developed and extended Accuray Inc update their materials accordingly. You can be sure of finding the latest published information on this area of treatment, though you cannot apply for treatment there.

CyberKnife can reproduce the conformality for organ coverage achievable with brachytherapy and local control and complication rates are expected to be similar to HDR (high dose rate) brachytherapy. CyberKnife centres may vary in their approach but as a general guideline up to stage 2a tumours, PSA under 10 ng/dl and a negative Cholin PET CT for body metastases.
More information
Individual CyberKnife centres may adopt slightly different approaches to which cases they will treat and how they will treat them, including how many treatment sessions are required.
