Targeted radiation. Minimal disruption. Excellent cosmetic outcomes.

High-Dose Rate brachytherapy is an effective, non-surgical treatment option for non-melanoma skin cancers. This internal radiation therapy delivers high-dose radiation directly to the tumor site, minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue and supporting excellent cosmetic outcomes, especially in cosmetically or functionally sensitive areas.

Indications: Brachytherapy may be appropriate for patients with:

• Basal cell carcinoma
• Squamous cell carcinoma
• Superficial skin cancers
• Lesions in cosmetically sensitive areas (face, nose, ears, lips, scalp)
• Patients who are poor surgical candidates
• Patients seeking a non-surgical treatment option

Why Brachytherapy?

• Highly targeted radiation that limits dose to surrounding healthy tissue
• Well-suited for complex anatomical areas such as the nose, ears, eyelids, lips, and scalp, where surgery may be challenging or cosmetically concerning
• Short treatment course, often completed in fewer visits than traditional external beam radiation
• Outpatient therapy with minimal disruption to daily life
• Improved convenience and compliance, particularly for older adults or those seeking a non-surgical option
• Excellent cosmetic results
