Have you 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. Basal cell carcinoma is one type of skin cancer and occurs more frequently than any other form of skin cancer. This year alone, an estimated 2.5 million people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with basal cell skin 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.
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.
If you are facing basal cell carcinoma, you now have another option: Superficial Radiotherapy, or SRT, the non-surgical choice for removing non-melanoma skin cancer. This is considered the best treatment for basal cell carcinoma. Cure rates of the SRT-100™ compete with those of surgical treatments, destroying skin cancer without any collateral damage to healthy skin cells.

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 can be performed in your doctor’s office. If you have been diagnosed with skin cancer, ask your doctor about the revolutionary SRT-100™ for treatment of your basal cell carcinoma or contact Sensus Healthcare for more information.
