Effective Non-Operative Treatment for Skin Cancer

What is Skin Cancer Brachytherapy?

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.

How is Skin Cancer Brachytherapy Done?

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.
