What is SRT?
SRT (Superficial Radiotherapy) is a state-of-the-art treatment designed to deliver precise radiation energy at controlled depths. Using the advanced SRT-100 device, this technology effectively treats Basal Cell Carcinomas and Squamous Cell Carcinomas WITH UP TO A 99% cure rate. The treatment penetrates just a few millimeters into the epidermis, specifically targeting cancer cells while preserving surrounding healthy tissue.
How Does SRT Work?
The SRT-100 device employs calibrated doses of low-energy X-rays that penetrate the skin at carefully controlled depths. In specific cases, ultra-high frequency ultrasound can be utilized for image guidance to place and monitor the treatment field when increased precision and accuracy are required. This Image-Guided Superficial Radiotherapy ensures optimal treatment delivery for complex cases.
The Procedure
The SRT procedure is quick and painless, requiring no anesthesia. Each treatment session is personally administered by Dr. Patel, who creates and monitors your individual treatment plan from start to finish. Typical treatment plans consist of 2-3 treatments per week; however, depending on the type and size of the skin cancer, Dr. Patel creates an individual treatment plan that is tailored to each of his patients.
