If you have been diagnosed with skin cancer, you are not alone. Skin cancer is one of the most

commonly occurring forms of cancer, with more than one in every three new cancers diagnosed as

skin cancer. One in five Americans will develop skin cancer over the course of their lifetime, and 40

to 50 percent of Americans who live to age 65 will have either basal cell carcinoma or squamous

cell carcinoma at least once. Basal cell cancer is the most common type of skin cancer; this year

alone, an estimated 2.5 million people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with basal cell cancer.

What is basal cell cancer?

Basal cell carcinoma appears as an abnormal, uncontrolled growth or lesion on the skin. It may

appear as an open sore, red patch, pink growth, shiny bump or scar. The good news is that this

particular type of skin cancer rarely metastasizes (spreads) beyond the original tumor site to

become life threatening. If not treated promptly, however, basal cell carcinomas can become

disfiguring.

How is basal cell carcinoma treated?

If you have been diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma, you have several different treatment

options available to you, including: Mohs micrographic surgery, excisional surgery, electrosurgery,

cryosurgery and laser surgery. Although different, these treatments all have one thing in common:

they are all surgical procedures.

But there is another option: Superficial Radiation Therapy, or SRT, the non-surgical choice for the

treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer. Cure rates of the SRT-100™ compete with those of

surgical treatments, destroying skin cancer without any collateral damage to healthy skin cells.

Sensus Healthcare's SRT-100™ gives a precise, pain-free, calibrated, low-dose of Superficial

Radiation Therapy that effectively destroys basal cell cancer. The procedure involves no cutting,

bleeding or stitching. There is no need for anesthesia, no risk of infection or scarring and no need

for reconstructive plastic surgery. With the SRT-100™, you can heal quickly from your basal cell

carcinoma treatment with no downtime or lifestyle restrictions following the procedure.

SRT-100™ is a safe and effective procedure that only takes minutes in your doctor's office. If you

have been diagnosed with skin cancer, ask your doctor about the revolutionary Sensus Healthcare

SRT-100™ for treatment of your basal cell carcinoma.
