| MedStar Georgetown University Hospital was the first hospital on the East Coast to offer CyberKnife technology. Our team is among the world’s most experienced CyberKnife sites having treated more than 2,400 patients with prostate cancer and performed more than 35,000 treatments in total. Unlike traditional radiation that’s given in 40 sessions over eight to nine weeks, CyberKnife can treat prostate cancer in just five visits. Dr. Jonathan Lischalk, a radiation oncologist at MedStar Georgetown, discusses CyberKnife radiation therapy for treating prostate, and the advantages of CyberKnife over conventional radiation.
