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!
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.
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).
Since the procedure is performed in our dermatology office, the patient goes home shortly after it is completed.
There is minimal to no scarring, pain, or stitches, which allows the patient to return to normal life without any inconveniences or unsightly skin blemishes.
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.
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.
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!
We understand that every patient is unique, so we take the time to listen to your concerns and develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Make an appointment or call us today, and we will help you make the best decision for you!
The process begins with diagnosing the cancer that can be treated with SRT. You will then meet with our Radiation Oncologist and Radiation Therapist to review what was diagnosed and your medical history.
Our medical team will determine the ideal number of treatments to minimize side effects and optimize cosmetic outcomes. You can expect to receive between 15-20 treatments.
Once this is accomplished, our Radiation Therapist will contact you to schedule the start of treatment.
Our in-house board-certified Radiation Oncologist curates the treatment and will determine the exact plan based on tumor size and location. An applicator is placed near or on the lesion during each treatment, and treatment is administered.
Each treatment takes between 5-10 minutes.
A physician or physician’s assistant will be present throughout each treatment to check on you and manage any side effects.
Please note that side effects are usually minimal and transient, including skin redness, itching in the affected area, and rarely fatigue.
Advanced Dermatology & Skin Cancer Specialists use established techniques refined over several decades to relieve our patients diagnosed with skin cancer. SRT Radiotherapies have proven to be an extremely effective way to treat early-stage skin cancer.
IT IS CRITICAL THAT YOU GET DIAGNOSED EARLY AND TREATED IMMEDIATELY.
