Non-Surgical Option For Superficial Skin Cancer
- Electron Beam Therapy (EBT) offers a non-surgical alternative for early-stage superficial skin cancers like basal and squamous cell carcinoma.
- EBT uses low-energy electrons aimed at the skin surface to destroy lesion cells without cutting or stitches.
Low-Level, Surface-Limited Radiation
- EBT uses low-level radiation that penetrates only a few millimeters and typically measures about 5–10 microsieverts per treatment.
- That dose is comparable to roughly a day of background solar radiation and far lower than a chest x-ray.
Talk With Qualified Specialists First
- Discuss EBT candidacy with a dermatologist or radiation oncologist for lesions on the skin surface like basal or squamous cell carcinomas and some early melanomas.
- Consider specialists with experience in image-guided superficial radiation or electronic brachytherapy for best outcomes.
