What is Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT)?
Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT) is a non-invasive medical treatment designed to target skin conditions like non-melanoma skin cancers and keloid scars. Using low-energy X-rays, SRT safely and effectively destroys abnormal cells without penetrating deep into the skin. This method is particularly advantageous for patients seeking a non-surgical alternative with minimal scarring and downtime. SRT is painless, requires no anesthesia, and can often be completed in just a few short sessions.
Key Targets and Benefits
SRT primarily treats basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and keloid scars. It’s ideal for areas of the body where surgery might be more complicated, like the face, scalp, or ears. The treatment’s non-invasive nature eliminates the need for cutting or stitching, significantly reducing the risk of scarring and infection. SRT also provides exceptional cosmetic results, making it a preferred option for patients looking to preserve the appearance of their skin. With a high success rate and minimal side effects, SRT offers both effectiveness and convenience.
