Authors' objectives:
The CyberKnife is a new, frameless stereotactic radiosurgery system. This work reviews its efficacy and safety in the treatment of intra- and extracranial lesions.
Authors' recommendations:
The quality of the reviewed papers still does not allow definite conclusions to be drawn regarding the efficacy and safety of treatments for intra-and extracranial lesions. The use of this system offers an alternative for the treatment of inoperable tumours, and of lesions located close to critical structures that cannot be treated using other types of stereotactic radiosurgery system.
