CyberKnife Radiosurgery for Localized Prostatic Carcinoma
Status unconfirmed · Phase 2
Conditions studied: Prostate Cancer
In brief
Virtual high dose rate (HDR) CyberKnife (CK) prostate treatment has comparable morbidity and efficacy compared with actual prostate HDR treatment, but does it without the catheters and hospital admission. As such, it is a more "patient friendly" treatment method compared with actual prostate HDR brachytherapy as currently practiced. Related, as has previously been reported with actual prostate HDR treatment, Virtual HDR CyberKnife prostate treatment should have a high efficacy but with lower acute and chronic morbidity compared with other local prostate cancer treatment methods such as permanent seed prostate brachytherapy.
