We provide non-surgical options for treating skin cancer that focus on effectiveness with fewer side effects. Recognizing the difficulties that come with traditional methods like radiation therapy and Mohs surgery, we've adopted less-invasive alternatives. One of our most advanced offerings is Electronic Brachytherapy (EBX), a precise form of x-ray treatment that targets cancerous lesions while preserving healthy surrounding tissue.
This state-of-the-art approach not only reduces physical strain but also eases emotional stress. The procedure involves placing a small applicator directly over the lesion, delivering short, controlled x-ray bursts that last just a few minutes. Because the radiation used is low and non-toxic, there's no need for heavy protective gear. EBX offers a range of benefits, including
- Minimal blistering: Unlike more conventional radiation treatments, EBX causes very little (if any) blistering on the skin. This significantly increases comfort and reduces the negative psychological effect of skin cancer treatment.
- There is absolutely no pain or discomfort during treatment, and you can continue other daily activities afterwards.
- Because of the targeted approach, and EBX treatment session can be conducted in as little as 5 minutes; without you having to make special arrangements.
- As the EBX doesn’t use isotope radiation, there is very low toxicity associated with the treatment; increasing your safety and minimizing potential damage to surrounding tissues commonly feared with traditional radiation treatments.
