Medical Journal: Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy Is Superior to Superficial Radiation Therapy Without Guidance
BURR RIDGE, Ill., Feb. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- SkinCure Oncology, the world leader in providing a comprehensive model for the delivery of Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy (Image-Guided SRT or IGSRT) for the treatment of nonmelanoma skin cancer, presented to dermatology patients as the GentleCure™ experience, announced the publication of research, "Image guidance improves freedom from recurrence in superficial radiation therapy for non-melanoma skin cancer," in Advances in Radiation Oncology, a peer-reviewed journal from the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO).
- It shows definitively that the new technology is superior, and represents a seminal moment in the care of skin cancer patients using radiation.
- This study is the first to rigorously compare SRT to IGSRT, and it covers all the data that exists on IGSRT.
- Superficial radiation therapy was developed over 100 years ago ( here ) and was the standard therapy for nonmelanoma skin cancer until Mohs micrographic surgery emerged in the 1930's ( here ).
- IGSRT and the GentleCure experience will be showcased at the upcoming American Academy of Dermatology annual meeting in San Diego, at booth 3555.
