Liver cancer survival rates are generally low. Although liver cancer surgery (surgical resection) may be preferred among the treatments for liver cancer, only about 20% of patients are candidates. Chemotherapy, chemoembolization, alcohol ablation, radiofrequency ablation, and cryoablation are alternative treatments for liver cancer.

Once you have considered Accuray's general information on liver cancer you can make a treatment enquiry through this web site. We are currently able to pass liver cancer cases for assessment to the following centres:
More information
For more information on treatments for liver cancer visit the liver cancer page of the CyberKnife manufacturer's web site. As protocols are developed and extended Accuray Inc update their materials accordingly. You can be sure of finding the latest published information on this area of treatment, though you cannot apply for treatment there.
The ability of CyberKnife® to track the tumour during treatment and so concentrate the dosage more precisely on the tumour reduces damage to adjacent health tissue and side effects from treatment. CyberKnife treatments for liver cancer are still relatively recent and different centres may take different approaches.
Individual CyberKnife centres may adopt slightly different approaches to which cases they will treat and how they will treat them, including how many treatment sessions are required.
