Yes. Image-Guided SRT gives low-energy radiation, similar to what is used for X-rays at the dentist’s office. It is not high doses of radiation used to treat other types of cancer, which need to be given in a hospital or special radiation center. Your treatments will be given by a radiation therapist who is certified and works closely with your dermatologist. Learn more about the types of skin cancer radiation treatments to help you choose the one that’s right for you.
Doctors learn about the safety of a treatment and how well it works by studying it in clinical trials. Treatment with Image-Guided SRT was studied by Dr. Yu and his team. They looked at the results of over 1632 people who had at least one skin cancer treated with Image-Guided SRT. These men and women ranged in age from 31 to 101 years old. They all had early stage (stage 0 to 2) basal or squamous cell skin cancer. Image-Guided SRT was shown to cure 99.3% of skin cancers.
Ask your dermatologist about your type of skin cancer and about all of the treatment options that are right for you.
Over 22,000 people who received IG-SRT treatment were surveyed. 99.8% of them were highly satisfied with their treatment outcome, 99.8% were happy with their decision to proceed with Image-Guided SRT treatment, and 99.8% would recommend GentleCure | Image-Guided SRT to a friend.
