Robert Ferrant was given just a few months to live after he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, but thanks to CyberKnife, Mr Ferrant has now been offered the hope of a cure. CyberKnife uses a moveable robotic arm which is attached to a miniaturised radiotherapy machine. This gives enormous manoeuvrability, firing hundreds of pencil-thin beams of radiation from thousands of angles around the patient, which converge on the tumour.
