Manufacturer's Listing of Treatments
The list below is Accuray's statement of conditions treated, taken from their web site.
In practice we have found that approaches can vary considerably from centre to centre and that some centres will not treat all of these conditions. Sometimes CyberKnife may form only part of a wider treatment or it may only be a palliative treatment.
