What is SRT?
SRT, also known as superficial radiation therapy, is a non-surgical procedure designed to treat skin cancer and minimize scarring. It delivers radiation via x-rays and only penetrates the surface of the skin, without harming deep tissue.
It is an excellent option for patients with basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or Kaposi’s sarcoma who wish to avoid damage and scarring, especially on sensitive areas like the face.
