What is Superficial Skin Cancer Radiation Treatment?

Superficial skin cancer radiation treatment is a non-surgical method for treating skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. It involves using low-energy X-rays that target only the skin’s surface layers, effectively destroying cancerous cells without penetrating deeper tissues.

This technique benefits patients seeking an effective yet less invasive treatment option. This approach provides a suitable alternative for individuals who may not be ideal candidates for surgery because of health concerns. With minimal side effects and a high success rate, the Sensus SRT-100 is a leading non-surgical skin cancer treatment choice.

How SRT Works on Skin Cancer

Superficial skin cancer radiation treatment with the Sensus SRT-100 is particularly effective for skin cancers located on sensitive or cosmetically important areas such as the face, ears, neck, and hands. The therapy works by delivering targeted low-dose radiation to the affected area. This radiation penetrates the top layers of the skin, disrupting the DNA of cancer cells and preventing them from growing and dividing. The process is precise, sparing the surrounding healthy tissue while effectively treating the cancerous cells. Each session is quick, painless, and conducted in the comfort of our state-of-the-art facility.

The Sensus SRT-100: Advanced Skin Cancer Technology

The Sensus SRT-100 represents the pinnacle of non-surgical skin cancer treatment technology. Cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, this innovative device offers a groundbreaking approach to treating non-melanoma skin cancers and keloids. Without surgery, the Sensus SRT-100 provides patients with a precise, targeted approach that preserves physical appearance and well-being. The Sensus SRT-100 delivers the following benefits:

Non-invasive and pain-free
Excellent cosmetic results with minimal scarring
Well-tolerated by most patients
Performed in an outpatient setting
Preserves the healthy surrounding tissue
Short treatment sessions with no downtime
Minimal risk of infection and other complications
High success rate in treating basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma

Cutting-Edge Radiation Treatment: The Effective Non-Surgical Option

While many patients are familiar with surgical approaches to skin cancer, the Sensus SRT-100 offers a state-of-the-art non-surgical alternative that matches the effectiveness of leading radiation therapy technologies. Our treatment is named a premiere advanced surface-level radiation therapy method; it is laser-precise in destroying carcinogenic cells while being gentle on healthy skin. The benefits of Sensus SRT-100 versus other treatments include the following:

Precise, calibrated superficial radiotherapy
Treatment that only penetrates skin-deep
Safe in-office procedure
No anesthesia required
No lifestyle restrictions following treatment

What to Expect During the Procedure

During treatment using the Sensus SRT-100 system, the affected area is exposed to low-energy X-rays. The targeted area is carefully measured and marked to ensure precision. A protective shield is placed over the surrounding healthy skin to minimize exposure. Each session lasts only a few minutes and is painless, with patients often describing it as a warm sensation on the skin. Dr. Weitzbuch will ensure you are comfortable and well-informed throughout the process.

After Your Superficial Skin Cancer Treatment

After your treatment session, you may experience mild skin irritation or redness, similar to a sunburn, which typically resolves quickly. We provide detailed post-treatment care instructions for optimal healing and results. Patients should follow these instructions and attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor their progress. Complete treatment typically requires multiple sessions over several weeks, based on the size and depth of the skin cancer.

Are You a Candidate for Superficial Skin Cancer Radiation?

During your consultation, Dr. Weitzbuch will go over your overall health and medical history and carefully examine your skin cancer issue to determine if SRT is right for you. Patients previously undergoing radiation therapy for other conditions may still be candidates for this specialized treatment. Ideal candidates for superficial skin cancer radiation include the following individuals:

Individuals with squamous cell carcinoma or basal cell carcinoma
Those with small to medium lesions confined to the upper layers of the skin
Individuals without specific skin sensitivities to radiation
Patients with health conditions who are not good candidates for surgery
