SRT - Superficial Radiation Therapy
Laser Based Treatment for Some Types of Skin Cancers
Advanced Dermatology & Skin Cancer Specialists are experts in treating Skin Cancers in Yuba City, Stockton, CA, and surrounding areas.
We continue to be leaders in the industry by offering SRT treatments—Superficial Radiation Therapy, Radiotherapy for Basal Cell Carcinoma, and Radiotherapy for Cancer—for some cancers!
What is Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT)?
SRT - Superficial Radiation Therapy - is the latest form of radiation therapy available today for treating Skin Cancers such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and Bowen’s carcinoma.
We are proud to be one of the first dermatology practices in the area to offer this treatment to our patients in our Yuba City and Stockton, CA, offices.
State-of-the-Art Skin Cancer Treatment
SRT is ideal for treating tumors in sensitive areas on or near the nose, lips, ears, eyes, and forehead.
In addition, SRT has been proven to be excellent in treating the lower extremities (typically, treatments for Skin Cancer in the legs do not heal quickly).
SRT preserves healthy tissue while painlessly treating malignant (cancerous) cells. One key benefit of using SRT to treat skin cancer is that it penetrates about 5mm below the skin’s surface—usually the thickness of the skin.

SRT uses low X-ray energy levels to kill skin cells and is performed safely in our dermatology office.
Our doctors use ultrasound images to pinpoint and target the exact size and area to deliver treatment. A precise radiation dose is delivered to the top layer of the skin (where skin cancer typically lives).

Why Choose SRT?
It's simple: image-guided superficial radiation therapy (SRT) is a great way to treat the diagnosis of non-melanoma Skin Cancers such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and Bowen’s carcinoma.
SRT is a low-dose, pain-free treatment that doesn’t require cutting and stitches and has little to no scarring.
BENEFITS OF SRT
Proven Effective: Cure rates are similar to surgery, with fewer side effects and shorter treatment times.
No Surgery: No Cutting, No Stitching, No Bleeding, No Scarring, and Limited to No Pain.
No Hospitalization: Treatment is done in the office at one of our convenient locations throughout Southern Arizona.
State-of-the-Art Technology
Minimal or No Scaring: Treatment results produce an outstanding appearance of the treatment site (no stitches).
Convenient: Treatment is delivered in the office over 15-20 10-minute sessions. The procedure has minimal side effects and usually no wound care, allowing you to return to your daily life when you leave the office.
SRT Uses Low-Energy X-rays: Similar to the radiation used in your dentist's office for teeth X-rays, SRT treatment is safe and effective; the radiation goes only as deep as your skin and doesn’t affect any other body part.
Great Results: 99%+ of people who had SRT treatments report being satisfied.
The process is non-invasive, has no downtime, leaves no scarring, does not typically require wound care, can be performed in the dermatology office (no hospitalization). This allows patients to return to their lives when they leave the office!
