CyberKnife is currently the world's most advanced and flexible radiosurgery system, offering high precision, pain-free radiosurgery for tumours, metastases, trigeminal neuralgia, arteriovenous malformations (AVM) and other conditions. CyberKnife's interactive tracking ability and robot-controlled treatment delivery allow it to follow and automatically adjust for small body movements, e.g. due to breathing.

For brain tumours this means that the patient no longer has to be fixed rigidly in place with an intrusive metal frame and it extends the scope of treatments to the rest of the body where rigid fixation is not possible.


With CyberKnife's unprecedented accuracy and non-invasive nature, surgeons are able to treat complex tumours in sensitive locations, which would otherwise be too dangerous to operate on. As a result, since introducing CyberKnife the surgeons at the European CyberKnife Centre have been able to treat many more patients than with the previous best equipment.

Doctors will always struggle to keep up with the latest treatment options. . .

As medical technology advances, new treatments and diagnoses appear in different places around the world. Often these require highly specialised consultants, large capital investments or both, so it can take many years before they become widely available.

National boundaries are not the barriers that they once were though. Resources often have to be concentrated upon specialist centres within each country in order to provide the latest high-tech solution to patients, and the same can apply across nations.

Best medical practice now dictates that doctors must look outside their home country to provide the best and most effective treatments for their patients. National health authorities and private medical insurers are both responding to these changing realities and more patients are traveling abroad for specialised medical treatments.

It is a stark fact that no one country can have the best of facilities in every area and patients with serious and life-threatening conditions can now seek out the best options for themselves. Frequently patients and their families become ‘instant experts’ on their particular condition, feeding information to their doctors and demanding results. Sadly however some of this information may be incorrect or misunderstood and doctors become overwhelmed.

How can Medilux Healthcare help?

Here at Medilux Healthcare Ltd. we assist doctors and patients alike by bringing you exciting new options from around the world. We do not advise on specific cases but doctors can obtain detailed information and references through our web sites and patients can download fact sheets for their own guidance and to show to their doctors. You can even take a virtual tour of the medical facilities and ‘meet’ the consultants!

We do not rest there however. To most of us our health is our most treasured possession and we do not want to take more drugs or undergo more surgery than is absolutely necessary. Wherever possible then the diagnoses and treatments that we present you with are both non-invasive and drug free.

If you have a serious medical problem without a solution in your own country, there may be a treatment abroad which would help you, but your doctor cannot always be expected to know of this. Also it may be that there is a better or less invasive treatment option somewhere else.

We do not offer miracles or make you false promises but we do bring you information which can help you to make timely and effective decisions for yourself or your family.

We promote devices on the basis of the Manufacturers' representations as to quality and efficacy and where possible we provide additional information as to the conditions which may benefit from their use but we do not guarantee that they will be suitable or effective for all purchasers. We do not examine or diagnose patients or recommend treatments and where we promote medical services this is on an information-only basis. Patients contract directly with these providers and all clinical decisions are made by them alone.
