If patient and clinical experts opt for the CyberKnife the procedure is planned on the basis of CT scans. Depending on the size and complexity of the tumor, the entirely painless CyberKnife intervention takes 30 to 90 minutes. The patient can leave the Center on the same day.
The Charité CyberKnife Center is located at Campus Virchow-Klinikum and is headed jointly by Professor Dr. Volker Budach, Department of Radiation Oncology and Radiotherapy, and Professor Dr. Peter Vajkoczy (Department of Neurosurgery).
