While undergoing CyberKnife® treatment for prostate cancer, ARO patient Alan often thought about a friend receiving traditional radiation therapy overseas at the same time.
“He had to have around 30 treatment sessions for his prostate cancer. It was significantly more difficult,” Alan says. “CyberKnife® was just a different experience.”
In New Zealand CyberKnife® is only available through ARO. Prostate cancer patients receiving CyberKnife® treatment typically only need five 30-minute treatments, which can be completed over 10 days.
