This study aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of CyberKnife (CK) versus TomoTherapy for the treatment of brain metastases (BMs). Three cases of BM treated at our hospital – two with CK and one with TomoTherapy – were compared and analyzed. Both treatments showed good therapeutic effects, but CK was more effective. No radiation-related adverse reactions were observed in the three patients. It is concluded that both CK and TomoTherapy can effectively control target lesions by allowing a higher dose in a single treatment while minimizing damage to surrounding normal brain tissue. This can reduce the total number of treatments needed, improve the prognosis of patients, and save medical resources.
