Prostate cancer treatment with CyberKnife (SBRT) in Costa Rica

This treatment may be an option for patients who present with:

• Localized prostate cancer

• Patients seeking alternatives to surgery

• Patients who want shorter treatments

• Cases selected according to medical evaluation

Each case must be evaluated by a specialized team.

CyberKnife delivers high-precision radiation directly to the prostate:

• Real-time tracking

• Protection of nearby organs (bladder, rectum)

• Outpatient treatment

One of the biggest benefits:

• There are single session or three session protocols.

• The most common protocol is 5 sessions

This significantly reduces the time compared to conventional radiotherapy.

• A non-invasive alternative to surgery

• Lower risk of complications

• Preservation of healthy tissue

• Rapid recovery

• Shorter duration

• High precision

• Less impact on quality of life

Each case is unique. Side effects are usually mild and temporary, such as:

• Temporary urinary discomfort

• Fatigue

The medical team performs continuous monitoring to ensure safety.
