What is CyberKnife?
CyberKnife, also known as a "three-dimensional stereotactic radiosurgical robot," is a fully digital system with a fully conformal multileaf collimator for whole-body stereotactic X-ray radiosurgery introduced at our hospital. The Accuray CyberKnife M6 represents the sixth generation of this system. It operates within the scope of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), capable of tracking patient positioning, tumor location, and respiratory motion in three-dimensional space. During treatment, the system uses imaging guidance to perform real-time corrections of the radiation beam direction to precisely target the tumor.
1. Intracranial lesions: brain metastases, primary tumors, trigeminal nerve tumors, arteriovenous malformations
2. Head and neck: primary tumors, re-irradiation
3. Liver: liver metastases, primary liver tumors unsuitable for surgery
4. Lung: early and advanced primary lung cancer, lung metastases
5. Spine: spinal metastases, benign tumors, spinal arteriovenous malformations
6. Pancreas: patients unsuitable for surgery, preoperative or postoperative boost
7. Prostate: low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer, monotherapy
1. Non-invasive, painless, no anesthesia required, short recovery period, minimal side effects.
2. Short treatment course; tumor can be eradicated in 1--5 sessions, suitable for outpatient treatment.
3. Systematic error <0.95 mm, allowing smaller irradiation margins and reduced damage to healthy tissue.
4. Capable of treating small-volume benign and malignant tumors throughout the body.
5. Fast image guidance with unparalleled tumor-tracking capability.
6. Significantly reduces the risk of postoperative complications, markedly improving patients' quality of life.
