In recent years a highly flexible but accurately-targeted form of radiation treatment has been developed, which provides non-invasive treatment of certain types of lung cancer. This is CyberKnife® radiosurgery, which differs from radiotherapy in several important ways.
CyberKnife treatments now extend to the brain, eye, spine, lung, liver, prostate and pancreas with new treatment protocols being developed as the technology is more widely adopted.
Over 100,000 patients worldwide have been treated with this system and it is now being adopted rapidly due to rising demand, as it becomes better known.

Proton therapy for lung cancer
Proton therapy can be applied wherever conventional radiotherapy can be used, but because the radiation is more closely focussed on the tumour(s) it greatly reduces the impact of radiation on sound tissue. It can also reduce distressing side effects which are often associated with radiotherapy for certain types of cancer.
Note: proton therapy will not be suitable for small cell lung cancer but it can sometimes be applied to stubborn tumours even after the patient has received the maximum conventional radiotherapy.
