Hi everyone!
Can anyone pls tell me about "CyberKnife" technology for killing cancer cells.
PPL who are totally ignorant about this here is a bit of it(The mind-boggling technology, CyberKnife, which promises to treat deadly cancers has come as a miracle for those who gave up hope. The bloodless and painless surgery is performed by a robotic system, using artificial intelligence.)

My relative went through an operation for breast cancer and now chemotherapy is going on I heard about this robotic treatment and am keen to know if it helps and avoid complications during chemotherapy.
Any comparison in two ..
I would appreciate your help guys.

thanks.
Neeshu.

This is as good an explanation as you will find: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberknife


It is an alternative to radiotherapy rather than chemotherapy. There appears to be a clinic in Bangalore, and your best step would be to ask for an interview with a clinician there to discuss its use and merits.
