SRT - Superficial Radiation Therapy
The Latest Technology for Treating Some Types of Skin Cancers
The staff at Advanced Dermatology & Skin Cancer Specialists have over 40 years in medical dermatology and we are constantly working to perfect the treatment and positive outcome for all types of skin cancers. We are now proud to offer our patients SRT Treatments for some cancers - Superficial Radiation Therapy, Radiotherapy for Basal Cell Carcinoma, and Radiotherapy for Cancer.
What Is SRT - Superficial Radiation Therapy?
SRT - Superficial Radiation Therapy - is a new form of radiation therapy available to treat most Skin Cancers such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and Bowen’s carcinoma. This procedure eliminates cutting and stitches as used in Mohs Surgery. Recovery is faster and in most cases you leave the office without any disruption of your daily life.
We are proud to be one of the first dermatology practices to make it available to patients in our Southern California offices.
Cutting- Edge Medical Procedure for Skin Cancer
This procedure treats tumors in sensitive areas on or near the nose, lips, ears, eyes, and forehead and has been proven excellent for the lower extremities. SRT is a great alternative for treating Skin Cancer in the legs, which do not heal easily.
SRT preserves the surrounding healthy tissue, while painlessly treating the malignant (cancerous) cells. One key benefit of using SRT to treat skin cancer is that it usually penetrates only the thickness of the skin, which is about 5mm below the skin’s surface.

What Can You Expect With SRT Treatments?
Expert Dermatologists
The process begins with diagnosing the cancer to make sure that it can be treated with SRT.
Once diagnosed, you will meet with our Radiation Oncologist and Radiation Therapist to discuss and review what was diagnosed and your medical history.
Based on the findings, 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.
Treatment Process
Our in-house board-certified Radiation Oncologist will curate the treatment and will determine the exact plan based on your tumor size and location.
During each treatment, an applicator is placed near or on the lesion, and treatment is administered.
Each treatment takes between 5-10 minutes.
Patient Care
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 and may include skin redness, itching in the affected area, and very rarely fatigue.
Compassionate Care
At Advanced Dermatology & Skin Cancer Specialists, we are committed to providing compassionate care to all of our patients. We understand that skin cancer can be a sensitive topic, and we strive to create a safe and supportive environment for our patients.
