The breast cancer clinic at UCSF works with its associated radiation oncologist who treats brain mets with gamma knife, Dr. Penny Sneed, I think. Stanford has both gamma knife and Cyberknife, I think. Don't know if you would do better to go through the Radiation Oncology or Neurosurgery clinic at Stanford. The inventor of the Cyberknife, Dr. Adler, was a member of the Stanford Neurosurgery faculty at the time I believe. I haven't checked the roster of their departments to see if he is still there , but they have a helpful department which refers patients to the right clinic. They have an 800 number I believe. Perhaps you could call them and have them ask the relevant Drs. academic secretaries/new patient intake nurses to ask them which way you should go.
I have heard gamma/Cyberknife works best when very few lesion(s) and small lesions.
Hope some of this helps.
