Re: Experts Debate CyberKnife for Prostate Cancer

[Guest guest]

My husband asked about the Cyber Knife teatment for prostate cancer and

the doctor said NO he would not do it for him because of his young age

54, and not enough data on it. There were 3 men at the time that were

being treated for it on their insistance but they were much older. I

think if my husband was much older he would have opted for it.
