If you have been diagnosed with skin cancer, you are not alone. Skin cancer is one of the most
commonly occurring forms of cancer, with more than one in every three new cancers diagnosed as
skin cancer. One in five Americans will develop skin cancer over the course of their lifetime, and 40
to 50 percent of Americans who live to age 65 will have either basal cell carcinoma or squamous
cell carcinoma at least once. Basal cell cancer is the most common type of skin cancer; this year
alone, an estimated 2.5 million people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with basal cell cancer.
What is basal cell cancer?
Basal cell carcinoma appears as an abnormal, uncontrolled growth or lesion on the skin. It may
appear as an open sore, red patch, pink growth, shiny bump or scar. The good news is that this
particular type of skin cancer rarely metastasizes (spreads) beyond the original tumor site to
become life threatening. If not treated promptly, however, basal cell carcinomas can become
disfiguring.
How is basal cell carcinoma treated?
If you have been diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma, you have several different treatment
options available to you, including: Mohs micrographic surgery, excisional surgery, electrosurgery,
cryosurgery and laser surgery. Although different, these treatments all have one thing in common:
they are all surgical procedures.
But there is another option: Superficial Radiation Therapy, or SRT, the non-surgical choice for the
treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer. Cure rates of the SRT-100™ compete with those of
surgical treatments, destroying skin cancer without any collateral damage to healthy skin cells.
Sensus Healthcare's SRT-100™ gives a precise, pain-free, calibrated, low-dose of Superficial
Radiation Therapy that effectively destroys basal cell cancer. The procedure involves no cutting,
bleeding or stitching. There is no need for anesthesia, no risk of infection or scarring and no need
for reconstructive plastic surgery. With the SRT-100™, you can heal quickly from your basal cell
carcinoma treatment with no downtime or lifestyle restrictions following the procedure.
SRT-100™ is a safe and effective procedure that only takes minutes in your doctor's office. If you
have been diagnosed with skin cancer, ask your doctor about the revolutionary Sensus Healthcare
SRT-100™ for treatment of your basal cell carcinoma.
