1yoyo 105, Chemotherapy is using drugs to treat a cancer. The Cyberknife is a linear accelerator. ( A machine that uses photon radiation to treat a cancer) It is radiation treatment, not drug therapy. Radiation is not new at all, but what is new about the Cyberknife is that it gives extremely high doses of radiation to within very small targets. The robotic arm can come at the patient from nearly any angle.
