I was treated with cyberknife 13 years ago. I was "cured". PSA was 0 for years. Now I have advanced PCa. We are all different.

I'd read the term but I had no idea it was so... "active?" ...

After watching the video, I'd be concerned about it mechanical breakdown and it not staying 'on target.'

The actual procedure name is probably SBRT which typically takes about 5 sessions, as opposed to IMRT which takes about 40+ sessions. The difference is the higher radiation intensity for the former. Am I correct?
