Superficial Radiation Therapy

A painless, in-office alternative to surgery for non-melanoma skin cancers, with no cutting, stitches, or downtime.

What To Expect

SRT uses low-energy radiation to target and destroy skin cancer cells while preserving the healthy tissue around them. A precise dose is delivered directly to the affected area, and healthy skin regenerates naturally afterward. Treatment is given over a series of short in-office visits.
