Why Should I Choose the SRT-100 Treatment?
The Superficial Radiotherapy treatment option that Dermatology Clinic of Arkansas proudly offers is a minimally invasive procedure that can accurately treat basal carcinomas and squamous carcinomas. Superficial Radiotherapy is an image-guided treatment that allows our expert physicians to accurately identify the cancer and precisely treat it without damaging the healthy areas of your skin.
These treatments are relatively painless, they do not involve surgery, and they are completed without stitches and minimal surgical scarring. The Superficial Radiotherapy treatment can be used to target lesions found on almost any area of the body, including the arms, legs, back, head, trunk, and neck. This treatment omits the need for plastic surgery following the treatment of your skin cancer lesions because there is no cutting involved. Your skin will be preserved by using Superficial Radiotherapy.
Feel confident about your skin with the SRT-100 Vision.
How Does the SRT-100 Vision Work?
IG-SRT stands for Image Guided Radiotherapy. The SRT-100 Vision is a device that targets superficial non-melanoma skin cancer and keloids. At our office, our physicians will accurately use the SSRT-100 Vision to identify and target cancer cells on the skin. The SRT-100 Vision uses a low level of X-ray energy to kill the cancer cells that are present.
Once these cells have been killed, it allows for new, healthy cells to grow back in place of the cancer. The main alternative to SRT-100 Vision treatment is Mohs surgery, which is a more invasive surgical procedure that requires cutting the skin and stitching it back together to remove the cancer cells.
What to expect?
At the beginning of you treatment, you will be seated in a comfortable position, the physician will identify your skin cancer. Our team will then apply a special gel on the cancer and use an ultrasound probe to visualize the skin cancer. With this technology, we can measure the size and shape of the cancer. This assists with defining the proper treatment area. We will then target the area with the SRT-100 and distribute the correct amount of X-ray energy to the site. This ensures that none of the surrounding healthy tissue is affected.
The treatment sessions typically take about 15 minutes from the time you walk in to when you leave our office. This treatment will be administered to you several times a week for several weeks, and then the treatment will be complete. For more resources regarding IG-SRT, visit Sensushealthcare.com.
