CyberKnife

Is that a good name for a company that offers radiation treatment to victims of prostate cancer? I find it to be very scary. Somehow a knife is going to be used to extract someone's prostate cancer. True, just about all operations on one's body use some sort of knife, but I don't know of any organization or person who highlights that fact by including the word 'knife' in any naming of the procedure or in conversations with the person to be operated on. Yet, this hospital of which I've never heard, is buying full page ads in the Sunday NT Times Magazine for what they call 



I'm surprised they were able to get funding from any financial organization while using this name. All the product does is use localized radiation on prostate cancer. It does offer a much shorter treatment time. Whether it works better than normal radiation is up in the air.
