For many men, the decision regarding which type of prostate cancer treatment to choose usually begins with deciding between surgery or going with a non-invasive option.

As non-invasive radiation treatment solutions continue to evolve and become even more effective and reliable, more men are opting for it as the side effects are usually minimal and most patients can return to their normal activities following treatment.

A Major Breakthrough in Treatment Duration

Some non-invasive treatment options have advanced to a point where outpatient treatment sessions have been reduced from 30 sessions to as little as 5 or fewer.

The CyberKnife^® is an advanced technology that delivers a specialized form of radiation therapy called stereotactic radiosurgery, or stereotactic body radiation therapy.

During CyberKnife^® treatment, patients simply lie on a treatment table while the machine’s robotic arm moves around their body delivering high doses of radiation directly to their tumor with pinpoint precision.

The targeted dose of radiation delivered by the CyberKnife^® kills tumor cells while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue.

Most treatment sessions typically last 30 – 90 minutes depending on the size, shape and location of your tumor.

For many men, painless, non-invasive options like this that require no anesthesia or hospitalization while delivering minimal radiation exposure to healthy skin surrounding a tumor are an attractive option.
