6. How
does
CyberKnife
treat

Prior
to

doctors
may
have
to
implant
between
three
and
six
small
metal
markers
known
as
fiducials
in
or
near
the
tumor
that
enable
the
CyberKnife
to
pinpoint
the
tumor
loca?on
during
treatment.
ImplanFng
the
markers
is
an
outpaFent
procedure
that
takes
about
an
hour.
About
a
week
later,
pa?ents
are
fiEed
with
a
custom
body
mold
made
of
soF
material
on
which
they
lie
during
