When you undergo a CyberKnife procedure, potential benefits to you include:

• No incision
• No blood loss
• No pain
• No anesthesia required
• No recovery time
• Immediate return to normal activities
• Fewer complications than traditional surgery (e.g. infection, hemorrhage or nerve damage)
• Improved quality of life during and after treatment
• Improved access to hard-to-reach, larger or previously inoperable tumors
• Reduced radiation exposure to surrounding tissue
• The ability to treat multiple tumors in different locations during a single session
• Treatment of lesions that have previously undergone the maximum allowed dose of traditional radiation therapy
• Improved patient comfort due to the lack of need for a head frame

In addition, some patients whose treatment may have required as many as 30 sessions with conventional radiation therapy may only require between one and five sessions of 60 to 90 minutes each using the CyberKnife.
