No, it's real.
Google for lots of links.
They use it at Georgetown U Hosp in DC, among a number of places.
See their info page at

I had it several years ago (Nov '04) at Stanford, California. It is quick
and a lot more comfortable than wide beam radiation. As far as I can tell,
there were no side effects form the CyberKnife. The WBR is a different
story.

Are there any outcome studies on it effectiveness? If it is combined
with chemo, how does one determine if it was effective? |

When I got mine, I was post chemo so I can't say.
The CyberKnife is a one (sometimes two) time treatment. In my case it
worked with one shot.
Here's the page of the CyberKnife maker. Google will have more links to
info.
