Virtual tour of the CyberKnife at the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre

A virtual tour of the first CyberKnife in the NHS at Mount Vernon Cancer Centre.

The CyberKnife gives us a brand new way to treat some patients who may have run out of options or have been told their cancer is inoperable. The CyberKnife has an ability to deliver a high dose of radiotherapy treatment to a cancer, whilst avoiding the surrounding normal tissues -- one of the main treatment challenges when giving radiotherapy.
