Treatment of Skin Cancer and Chronic Skin Diseases
This procedure uses highly advanced technology to destroy cancer cells or to prevent them from growing. Similar to excision, this procedure radiates the surrounding skin to help ensure the complete removal of the cancer. Skin will heal with minimal to no scarring. Radiation therapy is generally reserved for patients who cannot be treated by other means.
This procedure is ideal for persons seeking a safe and painless, non-surgical way of treating non-melanoma skin cancer. This can also include those who are at high risk for surgical procedures, such as those with heart conditions or high blood pressure.
The x-ray is directed toward the lesion by placing a small cone over the targeted area. The area is treated for about 90 seconds, which is all that is necessary to produce results. If you are interested in superficial radiation therapy, the skin experts at The Dermatology Clinic, PA can develop a treatment plan that is safe, effective and personalized for your health needs and the condition of your skin.
