What is Superficial Radiation Therapy(IG-SRT)?
Image guided SRT is a highly effective treatment for skin cancer, without having to do surgery. The treatment is most commonly used to treat basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. It is a type of low-level radiation that only penetrates a few millimeters beneath the skin's surface. Ultrasound images are used to precisely locate the cancer and allow us to treat only the cancerous area. The treatment is done in multiple sessions over a series of weeks.

Are there side effects?
Moderate irritation, redness or thinning of skin can occur. Full recovery from these can take 2 to 6 weeks. Since the treatment doesn't break the skin there is no risk of scarring, which makes is a good choice for cosmetically sensitive areas.
