Treat Skin Cancer Without Surgery

Sometimes the cutting-edge of skin cancer treatment means NO cutting at all. Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT), is a proven, non-surgical method of treating non-melanoma skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma, virtually any place on your body.

SRT is a painless treatment that uses low-energy X-rays to target cancer cells close to the skin’s surface, preserving surrounding healthy tissue while effectively treating the cancerous cells. Your dermatologist can help determine whether SRT is appropriate for you.

What to Expect?

• You will be required to attend several sessions, depending on your doctor’s recommendations.
• Tell your doctor about medications you are taking and continue them unless your physician tells you otherwise.
• The X-ray will be directed toward the lesion by placing an applicator cone over the treated area.
• Once the treatment begins, it will take less than 90 seconds to deliver the therapy.
• The treatment is painless, but you will likely notice skin redness by the end of the first week’s treatment.
• Post treatment, the skin will form a protective scab. The new, healthy skin will develop underneath it.
• Treatment technology: Sensus Healthcare SRT.
