Instead of traveling to a cancer center for six to eight weeks of conventional radiation therapy, you can complete your CyberKnife treatment in one to five short sessions, usually lasting less than an hour each. The non-invasive and extremely precise radiosurgery minimizes your chances of experiencing side effects, allowing you to go home right and typically resume normal activities after each treatment session.

The plan will determine the dose and how to target the tumor with the radiation beams.
