Skin Cancer Therapy Without Stitches: SRT (Superficial Radiation Therapy)

Skin cancer treatment has come a long way, yet many patients don’t know their options beyond surgery. Dr. Mark Nestor explains how image-guided superficial radiation therapy (IG-SRT) achieves up to 99% cure rates for basal and squamous cell carcinomas.Using ultrasound to measure and target cancer precisely, IG-SRT offers a non-invasive alternative with excellent cosmetic results—especially for areas like the nose, scalp, or legs. Treatment takes about 15 short sessions with minimal side effects. While not used for melanoma, it’s a highly effective option many patients never hear about.
