Hello. Has anyone had experience with the removal of bile duct tumors with the use of a cybernife?

Re: Cyberknife

Hi Mary, went to UNC for 2nd opinion.  (Husband, Charlie, 52, CC diag. 6/07).  They told us that Charlie's tumors are too large for Cyberknife.  Usually is used on very small tumors.  (His entire left lobe is tumor and a few in his right lobe).  I don't know if this helps at all, but it may give some idea on size of tumors for this procedure.  Good luck and God Bless!
