- CyberKnife is an option for treating inoperable or medically complex liver tumors with low toxicity. Initial results show good tumor response rates and survival benefits, especially for patients with small tumors receiving high radiation doses. Recent studies continue to show local tumor control rates over 80% and median overall survival around 10 months for hepatocellular carcinoma treated with CyberKnife. Dosimetric parameters can achieve tumor doses over 30 Gy while sparing critical structures like the liver and intestines.
