Abstract

The CyberKnife System has emerged as a non-invasive and precise radiotherapy technique for the treatment of various tumors. This review article provides a comprehensive analysis of the effectiveness and outcomes of CyberKnife treatment for different types of tumors. The literature survey includes an evaluation of the system's precision, non-invasive nature, and its role as an alternative to surgery for patients with inoperable or surgically complex tumors.The review encompasses a range of studies, including a report of 160 cases that evaluated short-term outcomes of CyberKnife therapy for advanced high-risk tumors. The findings suggest that CyberKnife therapy may offer better short-term outcomes compared to conventional chemoradiotherapy, with the potential to control tumor development, alleviate clinical symptoms, and reduce adverse reactions. However, further research is needed to confirm the long-term outcomes and the validity of these findings. The review also discusses the unique features of the CyberKnife System, its sub-millimeter accuracy in tracking tumor position, and its ability to treat small tumors in critical areas of the body. The system’s precision and flexibility are highlighted, emphasizing the need for highly individualized treatment approaches to avoid early tumordissolving responses and abnormal bilirubin metabolism.
