FAQ about CyberKnife
CyberKnife is a system for quick and accurate non-surgical treatment of the brain, lung, prostate tumors. CyberKnife unit is produced by Accuray American company which regularly improves a device to make it more effective, comfortable, and safe for a patient. Nowadays, there are 4 generations of CyberKnife. M6 and VSI are the latest.
The procedure is painless and does not require the incisions. The treatment principle is based on the targeted influence of radioactive irradiation on a malignant tissue.
What diseases are treated with CyberKnife?
The system influences benign and malignant tumors in any part of the body. It is applied to treat:
- brain pathologies (meningioma, angioma, acoustic neuroma, uveal melanoma, trigeminal neuralgia)
- spine pathologies (meningioma, neurinoma)
- cancer (lung, liver, kidney, prostate)
- metastases (brain, spinal, lung, liver, kidney, prostate).
The location of the tumor affects the average cost of CyberKnife treatment.
Indications for CyberKnife therapy:
- small tumor with clear boundaries located in the organ with dense structure (the liver, lung, brain)
- impossibility to conduct open surgery because of hard-to-reach tumor location or patient’s health condition
- relapse of cancer disease.
Contraindications for treatment:
- neoplasm over 4 cm
- an absence of clear visualization of a tumor
- tumors of hollow organs
- individual patients’ features.
Side effects appear rarely. Fatigue, nausea, small swelling in the area of irradiation may occur. The tissues are not damaged.
How to choose CyberKnife center?
While choosing a hospital for CyberKnife treatment, pay attention to:
- CyberKnife modification. Most hospitals are equipped with CyberKnife M6 or VSI. M6 is the newest modification, has higher accuracy, adapts to a patient breath and movement during irradiation. VSI is a previous model of CyberKnife M6; it also influences a tumor accurately but is less adaptive. So if you need the treatment with the latest CyberKnife M6, chose hospitals where it is used. Pay attention that the price of treatment, in this case, may be higher.
- CyberKnife treatment cost. The price is not a key factor to choose a CyberKnife center. Very often, the CyberKnife surgery cost may be higher, but is performed on the older device. For instance, the procedure cost on the latest CyberKnife M6 in Turkey may be 20-30% cheaper than on the older modifications applied in Germany. The price policy in a hospital significantly depends on the local citizens’ income within a particular country, not a quality of medical services.
- Hospital location. If you want to get to the chosen hospital as soon as possible and feel comfortable, do not choose medical centers in the countries far from your native one.
If you have questions regarding CyberKnife center, submit a request on Bookimed.
What does the CyberKnife treatment cost depend on?
The price of CyberKnife treatment is affected by the following factors:
- CyberKnife modification. The treatment with CyberKnife M6 will 10-15% higher than with CyberKnife VSI (older modification). However, the characteristics of these devices are about the same, but CyberKnife M6 provides the most precise irradiation.
- The place for treatment. The CyberKnife treatment cost differs from country to country. European hospitals offer the same procedure 2 times more expensive than Turkish ones. It is determined by general price policy within the states. You can get treatment by CyberKnife M6 (the newest modification) in Turkey 50% cheaper than on CyberKnife VSI (older modification) in Germany or Spain.

How is CyberKnife treatment performed?
Preparation for CyberKnife treatment
A patient undergoes MRI, CT or PET-CT before CyberKnife therapy. A doctor may administer special markers inside or near the tumor to increase the accuracy of influence.
CyberKnife operation process
During the operation, a patient is placed on the special table. He/she breathes calm and tries not to move. The irradiation starts. A computer regulates the location of the linear accelerator and intensity of irradiation. Patients with claustrophobia and children are sedated with light drugs.
After the procedure
A patient returns home in several hours after the procedure. In the case of oncological diseases treatment, additional medical observation may be required. The following 6-9 months a tumor reduces up to the complete disappearance.
CyberKnife vs GammaKnife: pros and cons
GammaKnife is a precursor of CyberKnife. GammaKnife cannot adapt to the movements of a patient and requires the fixation of the body while CyberKnife does. This allows affecting the pathology more precise without damaging healthy cells.
Innovative CyberKnife units control patient’s movements (i.g. breathing) and accurately irradiate a tumor.
CyberKnife can be applied as a primary treatment option for early stages of an oncological disease. It also can be combined with surgical treatment and chemotherapy.
