Non-surgical treatment, excellent outcome in function and form
Effective Non-Operative Treatment for Skin Cancer
Skin cancer brachytherapy is a non-invasive treatment where radioactive sources are placed close to or on the surface of the skin to treat various types of skin cancers. It offers a precise way to target cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
The procedure involves placing a radiation source close to or directly on the skin. The source emits radiation for a specific time, effectively destroying cancer cells while sparing the surrounding healthy tissue. The treatment is painless and can be done on an outpatient basis.
Skin cancer brachytherapy is indicated for patients with various types of skin cancers, especially those who prefer non-surgical treatment. It is suitable for basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and certain types of melanoma.
