What is Superficial Radiation Therapy?
Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT) is a non-invasive treatment used primarily to treat non-melanoma skin cancers, such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
SRT uses low-energy X-rays that only penetrate the surface of the skin. It precisely targets cancerous cells while sparing the surrounding healthy tissue. Unlike deeper radiation therapies or surgery, SRT doesn’t require any cutting, stitches, or anesthesia, making it ideal for patients who want a less invasive option with minimal downtime and cosmetic impact.
