If the tumor is just beginning it might not show.  Please post that question to the doctors on a med forum or the Cyberknife forum with doctors.  They would be happy to answer that question for you.  Make sure the MRI is done with CONTRAST.  I can ask if you don't on the CK forum.  I'm there under the user name, Lacie.
