Background Stanford prostate CK program initiated 12/03 Naples prostate CK program initiated 2/05 Both programs focused on low-risk patients: T1c-T2a disease; PSA < 10.0; Gleason score < 7 Stanford data initially published in spring of 2009 (IJROBP); updated 2010 Naples data published in fall of 2009 (TCRT)
PATIENT DRIVEN NON-INVASIVE MINIMAL SIDE EFFECTS MINIMAL DISRUPTION OF LIFE EFFICACY
Patient lies comfortably on the couch while the CyberKnife robot moves, images and corrections automatically for movement Treatments typically last mins per session Most patients require no sedation allowing them to depart at the completion of their treatment CyberKnife Treatment Delivery
Delivery of hundreds of radiation beams to the prostate Precise control limits of dose to the rectal wall and urethra Prostate Radiosurgery
Prostate PTV: gland expanded 5 mm in each direction except posteriorly where it is expanded 3 mm

PSA Response to CyberKnife 97% biochemical control at 30 months
Kaplan-Meier biochemical disease-free survival curve after SBRT for prostate cancer. Median follow-up is 5-years. Three of the 41 patients recurred, at 33, 37 and 42 months post-treatment. Tick marks indicate censored patients.
Disease recurrences 4 pts. with biopsy-confirmed local relapse 2 pts. at 24 months post-CK 2 pts. at 36+ months post-CK 1 pt. with distant relapse at 6 months; no local failure

Sexual Function Urinary Toxicity CyberKnife ® Lap Prostatectomy Treatment Comparisons
Erectile Function Of 76 pts. evaluable at 2 yrs, 81% maintained “erections sufficient for intercourse” (based on question #2 of SHIM)
Summary CyberKnife SRS produces a reasonable early decline of PSA in low risk patients. Late toxicity, including erectile function preservation, appears comparable/superior to conventional radiation therapy. CyberKnife SRS is a noninvasive and convenient treatment option for patients with early stage prostate cancer.
