The CyberKnife System is the world's first and only radiosurgery system that uses advanced robotics to treat tumors anywhere in the body. 

The treatment is currently not available to patients in South Africa. For the first time, radiation oncologists in South Africa have teamed up with their British counterparts to bring this cutting-edge treatment to the South African population by means of preferred packages offered at The London Cyberknife Centre at The Harley Street Clinic in London.

Patients are typically treated in one to five sessions and treatment is able to target individual tumours with greater precision and less damage to surrounding healthy tissue than any other form of radiotherapy. Worldwide some 35,000 patients have already been helped by this revolutionary, safe, non-surgical procedure that delivers highly focussed radiation therapy precisely to where it is needed, minimising significant dose to surrounding normal tissues that would be vulnerable to damage from high radiation doses.
