Do I need to be hospitalized for Cyberknife treatment?

No, hospitalization is typically not required for Cyberknife treatment. This advanced form of radiation therapy is performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day. Unlike traditional surgery, Cyberknife treatment is non-invasive, utilizing highly precise robotic technology to deliver targeted radiation to the tumor or affected area. This eliminates the need for incisions, anesthesia, and a hospital stay. Patients can expect to arrive at the Cyberknife center, undergo a treatment session that lasts between 30 minutes to 2 hours, and then safely go home to resume their normal activities. The outpatient nature of Cyberknife treatment offers convenience, minimal disruption to daily life, and a swift recovery.
