Having a gentler treatment experience

Watching skin cancer go away with ultrasound images

Jerry|
No more scarring or pain
Jerry has had many experiences with skin cancer treatment. Most were with surgery that left scars on his face and body. With Image-Guided SRT, Jerry had no ugly scarring or pain—and he was able to go out to dinner with his golf friends without bandages.
Barbara|
Grateful for a treatment choice that fit her needs
Barbara owns a boat and is in the sun a lot. She has had many surgeries to get rid of skin cancer. The last time Barbara was diagnosed, they recommended Image-Guided SRT because of where the cancer was on her body. At first, Barbara said “no” and was going to have Mohs surgery. She changed her mind and decided to go with Image-Guided SRT—and she was more than pleased with the pain-free cure.
Bob|
Recovering with no side effects
