Treating skin cancers with surgery is still the standard of care for most NMSC patients. However, surgery is not without potential downsides, especially for patients with other health issues. Surface radiotherapy, both Electronic Brachytherapy (EBT) and Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT), is an FDA-approved treatment option and an excellent choice for select NMSC patients. Explore the case study below to see how Dr. Steven Davis has had success treating patients with surface radiation therapy.
On the Other Side of the Machine
I have spent more than twenty years in radiation therapy, building systems, advising clinicians, and working to bring this technology to more patients. Last year, I became one of those patients myself. Diagnosed with Dupuytren’s contracture, I went through two rounds of low-dose radiation treatment at the same kind of facility I have spent my career supplying. What followed was one of the most clarifying professional experiences of my life, and a reminder that the gap between understanding a treatment and actually receiving one is wider than most people inside this industry ever appreciate.
