The last twenty years have seen significant strides in radiosurgical care, much of which were made possible by CyberKnife technology. With an ever-increasing number of CyberKnife stereotactic radiosurgery units installed across the globe and thousands of physicians using them on a daily basis, radiosurgery has grown rapidly. As minimally invasive, frameless, stereotactic radiosurgery gains popularity, this book will be indispensable in understanding the application of CyberKnife SRS.

This book provides a comprehensive reference for the treatment of various pathologies. It is meant to serve as a manual for both new and experienced clinicians alike. Some of the most experienced CyberKnife physicians from around the world have contributed their knowledge and discussed their experience. Each chapter covers a different disease process, including intracranial and extracranial pathologies. The content specifically highlights how the current use of CyberKnife relates to other radiosurgical modalities and treatment options by discussing advantages, disadvantages, dosing, complications and efficacy. We hope that this book will serve as a reference, guiding clinicians in the application of an emerging technology. (Imprint: Nova Biomedical )
