Prostate Cancer Treatment with CyberKnife®
Although prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in American men, the good news is that 95% of all cases are detected when the disease is confined to the prostate and treatment is most successful.
In many cases, especially when a patient is not a good candidate for surgery, prostate cancer can be effectively treated with targeted radiation known as stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). At HOACNY we deliver SBRT with our non-surgical CyberKnife® system.

Is CyberKnife® Treatment (SBRT) Covered by Private Insurance and Medicare?
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) treatment for prostate cancer is covered by Medicare in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. In addition, most of our private insurance payers cover SBRT treatment for prostate cancer. It is always best to check your insurance policy and if applicable, be sure to review your employee contract to determine if your insurance coverage benefits are limited.
