Image-Guided SRT
Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy, or Image-Guided SRT, is a non-surgical treatment option for non-melanoma skin cancer that uses low amounts of radiation, causing damage and ultimately, the death of cancer cells, allowing healthy tissue to grow back in its place. The procedure is a painless, non-invasive treatment that will have no impact on daily activities. Best of all, it has a 99 percent cure rate!

- There is no need for anesthesia or other pain-management medication.

See the Results for Yourself
Before Treatment
Basal Cell cancer is present on top of the patient’s ear. The ultrasound image shows a large, dark area under the skin which indicates cancer.
Mid-Treatment
Halfway through the treatment, the cancer has reduced in size externally. The ultrasound image shows that the cancer is being reduced internally as well.
Two-Week Follow-up
Two weeks after the treatment is completed, the outside of the ear shows absolutely NO signs of cancer. The ultrasound image shows that the treatment continues to eliminate the cancer internally. At the 30-week follow-up appointment, the ultrasound shows no sign of skin cancer.
What do Patients Have to say About Image-Guided SRT?
Over the past five years, more than 40,000 people have chosen Image-Guided SRT to treat their skin cancer. 6,500 of those patients participated in a satisfaction survey and more than 99.8% have said they were happy with their choice in treatment, they are ecstatic with the results and they would gladly recommend the treatment option to other patients.
