CyberKnife® Patients
CyberKnife is a powerful tool, not a single treatment. As more centres open each surgeon brings his own expertise and skills, so centres are increasingly specialising in particular areas. Medical hardware and software are also upgraded periodically, offering new or improved treatments, so the treatments offered at each centre can vary over time.
Many centres do not accept direct enquiries from patients, especially from abroad, but Medilux Healthcare Ltd (MHL) offers a centralised enquiry service for a choice of CyberKnife centres, with a single On-Line Enquiry Form for doctors or patients.
Please note that A1Med and MHL act in a purely informational capacity. The treatment centres make all clinical decisions and we cannot enter into further correspondence.
Have your case assessed
To make a treatment enquiry you will need to visit www.cyberknifeservice.com and complete the On-line Enquiry Form there.
For an initial review of your case, all CyberKnife Centres need certain minimum data to hand, including details of the tumour(s) or other condition to be treated and what scans are available. Centres will not respond without this information but when you use the Enquiry Form they will review this and advise if your case may be suitable and if so what further information they need.
