Image-Guided SRT is the first and only radiation treatment for skin cancer that uses ultrasound images. The ultrasound images let your dermatologist see the exact size of the cancer so he or she can target the area with the precise dose. These images also show the cancer shrinking and going away after each treatment. www.gentlecure.com/about-ig-srt/

Dermatologists across the country are adding GentleCure on a regular basis. You can also ask your doctor to add it as a treatment option. If you haven't already done so, please visit GentleCure.com/ig-srt-locations to find the cities near you where Image-Guided SRT is available.

GentleCure (which utilizes Image-Guided SRT) typically involves 15 to 20 short treatment sessions (about 15 minutes each) over the course of several weeks. Image-Guided SRT (Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy) is a type of radiation used just for skin cancer. It kills skin cancer cells using low levels of X-ray energy. This energy is like what dentists use to X-ray teeth. It is given by a Radiation Therapist in a dermatologist’s office. Image-Guided SRT is the first and only radiation treatment for skin cancer that uses ultrasound images. The ultrasound images let your dermatologist see the exact size of the cancer so he or she can target the area with the precise dose. These images also show the cancer shrinking and going away after each treatment. It should also be noted that Image-Guided SRT is not the same as other radiation treatments. www.gentlecure.com/about-ig-srt/radiation-treatment/

Yes, radiation causes cancer, but not the radiation used for skin cancer treatment. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun’s rays and tanning beds is the leading cause of skin cancer. The best way to prevent skin cancer is to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a skin protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher and to avoid the use of tanning beds and sun lamps. It is important to remember that up to half of all people who have had one skin cancer will have another within 5 years. Sometimes, that new skin cancer is mistaken for the old skin cancer coming back. Some people think that the radiation treatment caused a new skin cancer, when it is likely from the sun’s damaging rays. Getting full-body skin checks and having open, honest conversations with your dermatologist are important for those at risk for skin cancer. www.gentlecure.com/about-ig-srt/radiation-treatment/ As with any medical procedure, there are some potential side effects of Image-Guided SRT. > The most common side effects are usually mild to moderate irritation, redness, thinning, or breakdown of the skin that was treated, which may increase the risk for a skin infection. > These side effects can be cared for by your doctor and usually go away within 2 to 6 weeks after treatment ends. > Some people may notice that the skin that was treated becomes darker or lighter.

Misinformation

Many insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, do cover GentleCure / Image-Guided SRT, but you would need to consult with a dermatology practice offering the treatment to verify your insurance coverage.

Yes, I agree

As a general rule a good plastic surgeon is far superior to a Moh's surgeon for surgery. A plastic surgeon has at least around 5 years of training in surgery whereas a Moh's surgeon is a dermatologist who has then elected to do a year or two of skin cancer surgery training only. The plastic surgeon is an actual surgeon. Many medical doctors would not consider a Moh's surgeon an actual surgeon. They are dermatologists who do a little bit of surgery on the side. Ideally if you were very wealthy, I would consider the best treatment for skin cancer would be to see a dermatologist to detect and diagnose your skin cancer (dermatologists are experts in diagnosis of skin cancers) and then if surgery is recommended as the treatment, to ask to be referred to a good plastic surgeon. Having said that, just because a person is a plastic surgeon doesn't make them good at their job. Some take far more care than others in getting a good cosmetic result. Best of all is to get recommendations from people who have had surgery with that plastic surgeon. Summing up, see a good dermatologist to get your skin cancers diagnosed (but don't let them perform surgery on you). Then see a good plastic surgeon to have your skin cancer excised (the plastic surgeon knows nothing about skin cancer diagnosis). Having said all that, remember there are many doctors in both of these fields who are very poor at their jobs, and many who are very good. Dermatologists are generally far superior at diagnosing your skin cancers, and very poor at performing surgery. Plastics surgeons are generally far superior at surgical excision of your skin cancer and very poor at diagnosing your skin cancer. Doctors too often think they are good at many things when they are not. Don't get fooled.
