Virtual Reality Education Before CyberKnife Treatment for Prostate Cancer

This randomized controlled study evaluates virtual reality education for men aged 40 to 80 years with prostate cancer who are scheduled for CyberKnife radiotherapy at the University Hospital Ostrava. Participants are assigned in a 1:1 ratio to standard patient education alone or standard education supplemented by the Virtual Doctor's Assistant. The virtual environment reproduces the CyberKnife treatment room and explains the equipment, the treatment process, and the importance of consistent bladder and rectal preparation. The study aims to reduce stress before treatment and improve patients' understanding of the procedure and preparation requirements. Cancer treatment itself is unchanged. Outcomes will be assessed using patient questionnaires.

Inclusion Criteria: * Male patients aged 40 to 80 years * Diagnosis of prostate cancer * Indication for CyberKnife SBRT at the Oncology Department of University Hospital Ostrava * Written informed consent to participate in the study Exclusion Criteria: * Not signing the informed consent
