CyberKnife® Radiosurgery for Prostatic Adenocarcinoma
Prostate cancer has a highly variable natural history, presenting a bewildering variety of treatment management options to the clinician and patient alike, ranging all the way from radical surgery, to many different forms of radiotherapy, to medical therapy, to no active therapy at all. Each of these treatments has proponents and opponents, and the “perfect” treatment method for prostate cancer remains elusive.
