Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer globally, and the quest for effective, non-invasive treatments has led to significant advancements. Reno Tahoe Dermatology is proud to utilize the most advanced treatment available: GentleCure uses Image-Guided Superficial Radiotherapy (IG-SRT) offers patients a painless, scar-free treatment option.
What Is IG-SRT?
Understanding Image-Guided Superficial Radiotherapy
IG-SRT is a state-of-the-art technology that uses low-energy x-rays to target and destroy cancer cells in the skin. This method focuses on treating nonmelanoma skin cancers, offering a precise treatment that minimizes damage to healthy surrounding tissues. Unlike traditional methods, IG-SRT does not require cutting, which means no scarring and a quicker recovery time.
