Good news! There is finally a non-surgical MOHs surgery alternative to treat non melanoma skin cancer.
What Is MOHs Surgery?
MOHs surgery is a procedure where a layer of skin is removed and evaluated for skin cancer.
More and more layers of skin are removed until the test results come up showing zero cancer detected.
This is a popular procedure as it minimizes the amount of tissue removed during a procedure which leaves less scarring than other treatment alternatives.
However, it can be a time consuming procedure which requires specialized training.
Non-Surgical Mohs
There is now a nonsurgical alternative to MOHs surgery due to the new SRT technology.
These devices target non melanoma skin cancer cells through radiation therapy without cutting in to the skin.
What Is SRT-100?
The SRT-100 is a new device that delivers a low dose of radiation therapy to destroy cancer cells without downtime or recovery.
While this is not ideal for melanoma patients, it is a great alternative for patients with non melanoma skin cancer.
SRT stands for Superficial Radiation Therapy.
This new treatment is an ideal treatment alternative especially for patients with preexisting conditions that may make surgery a risk to their overall health.
Does SRT Cure Skin Cancer?
The cure rate for SRT-100 is 98.7% making it the only skin cancer treatment that treats cancer without every cutting into the skin.
