Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy (IGSRT)
Associates in Dermatology offers Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy (IGSRT) with GentleCure® as a modern, nonsurgical option for treating certain types of skin cancer. This advanced therapy is designed to precisely target cancerous cells while protecting the surrounding healthy tissue.
IGSRT combines detailed imaging with low-dose radiation to ensure accurate treatment delivery. The imaging allows dermatology providers to monitor tumor depth and shape throughout the treatment process, improving precision and overall outcomes.
This therapy is commonly used to treat basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. It is particularly beneficial for tumors located in cosmetically sensitive areas such as the face, ears, nose, and scalp, where surgical procedures may result in scarring or require complex reconstruction.
Patients undergoing IGSRT typically experience minimal discomfort and are able to continue normal daily activities during treatment. Because there is no surgery involved, there are no stitches and little recovery time.
IGSRT is FDA-cleared and supported by clinical research showing high success rates, making it an effective alternative for patients who prefer a noninvasive approach to skin cancer care.
