The Dermatology Insider 2023 is Xstrahl’s magazine for dermatologists. This issue of the Dermatology Insider includes patient stories about having SRT treatment for their skin cancer. In addition, hear from a dermatologist as he describes his experience using radiation therapy to treat non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). See two case history reports of radiation therapy treatment for skin cancer using SRT and eBt, detailing the number of treatments, dose per treatment, reasons for radiation therapy, as well as before and after images of the results. Xstrahl introduces Radiant Aura, which recently received US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) Clearance. We share more about using Radiant Aura and answer the most commonly asked questions in our FAQ section.

Two Case Histories: Office-Based Radiation Therapy for the Dermatology Clinic
Dr. Sean E. Mazloom, MD, FAAD, from ReJUVA Dermatology, Vein & Skin Cancer Center, Venice, FL has been using the RADiant system to treat both squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) and basal cell carcinomas (BCC) in his practice. Depending on a number of factors specific to each patient, he has treated these conditions with superficial radiation therapy (SRT) and electronic brachytherapy (eBT). Below are two case studies that describe the treatment process and results.
Treating My Skin Cancer with Superficial Radiation Therapy was the Perfect Alternative to Surgery
Myrna has a history of multiple skin cancers that were treated with Mohs micrographic surgery. During the last year, Myrna was diagnosed twice with basal cell carcinomas (BCC). Her dermatologist, Dr. John Binhlam of Advanced Skin & Laser Center, in Brentwood, Tennessee recommended superficial radiation therapy (SRT) as an alternative to Mohs surgery based on several factors unique to her. Myrna had SRT treatment delivered with the RADiant system, right in Dr. Binhlam’s office.
Superficial Radiation Therapy was a Simple Choice for My Skin Cancer
Marcia is 74 years old and a great-grandmother from Bell Buckle, Tennessee. Last year, she noticed bleeding from a tiny spot on the tip of her nose. At her next appointment, she had her dermatologist, Dr. John Binhlam, take a closer look. He did a biopsy on the spot, and she was diagnosed with an invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the nasal tip. After a discussion of Mohs micrographic surgery versus nonsurgical superficial radiation therapy (SRT), Marcia chose to have the latter treatment done using the RADiant system at his office, Advanced Skin & Laser Center in Brentwood, Tennessee.
Easy Non-Surgical Superficial Radiation Therapy was Ideal for My Skin Cancer
Mike had a quarter-sized spot on his leg that was not healing. A patient of Dr. John Binhlam’s dermatology practice for more than 20 years, he decided to seek treatment to heal his leg. A diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma led him to non-surgical superficial radiation therapy (SRT) treatment from Dr. Binhlam using the RADiant system at Advanced Skin & Laser Center in Brentwood, TN.
