Questions about your coverage?
What is the SRT-100™?
The SRT-100™ is a device that uses low-dose radiation to target and destroy non-melanoma skin cancer cells, as well as keloid-forming tumor cells. It works by delivering superficial radiation therapy just five millimeters into the skin, impacting the cancer cells while leaving healthy tissue intact. For patients weighing their options, SRT-100™ offers the same proven effectiveness as Mohs surgery (where a surgeon cuts out the cancer layer by layer under a microscope) – but without any cutting, scarring, or recovery time.
Facing a Skin Cancer Diagnosis Can Feel Overwhelming!
01
Each year, nearly 3.5 million Americans are diagnosed with non-melanoma skin cancer, making it the most common cancer in the United States. More than half of those patients are over 60.
02
Even though it is one of the most treatable forms of cancer, the fear of surgery, scarring, and recovery can create significant stress.
03
Many patients worry about visible scars, especially when cancer appears in sensitive areas like the face, nose, ears, or eyelids.
04
Nearly 80% of skin cancers appear on the face, head, and neck — areas where Mohs surgery (a procedure where a surgeon cuts out cancer layer by layer, often leaving visible scars that require plastic surgery to fix) can have significant cosmetic consequences.

Special Case Study
SRT-100™ for Melanoma In Situ
Melanoma In Situ — also called Stage 0 Melanoma — is the earliest possible stage of melanoma. At this stage, the cancer cells are confined entirely to the outermost layer of the skin and have not spread deeper. While surgery is the most common treatment, SRT-100™ offers a powerful, non-surgical alternative — especially for patients where surgery is not ideal.

Everything You Need to Know About SRT-100™
How SRT-100™ Works
- ✓Uses low-dose superficial radiation to target cancer cells
- ✓Penetrates only about 5 millimeters into the skin
- ✓Destroys cancer cells while preserving healthy surrounding tissue
- ✓Also effective for treating keloid-forming tumor cells
Understanding Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer
There are three primary types of skin cancer, each with different characteristics:
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)
- ✓Most common type
- ✓Slow-growing and rarely spreads
- ✓Can damage surrounding tissue if untreated
Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)
- ✓Less common but more aggressive
- ✓Can grow and spread if not treated early
Melanoma
- ✓Least common but most serious
- ✓Can spread to other parts of the body
- ✓Requires more aggressive treatment approaches
Non-melanoma skin cancers (basal and squamous) are typically well-suited for SRT-100™ treatment due to their localized nature.
How Effective Is SRT-100™ Treatment?
- ✓Proven to be as effective as Mohs surgery (the standard surgical cutting procedure for skin cancer) – but without a single incision
- ✓No reconstructive surgery needed – unlike Mohs surgery (surgical cutting and removal of cancerous tissue), where 87% of patients require plastic surgery afterward to address scarring
- ✓Preferred by Medicare and many healthcare providers due to strong outcomes and cost efficiency
Is SRT-100™ Safe?
- ✓Specifically designed for treating skin cancer
- ✓Uses significantly lower radiation compared to traditional therapies
- ✓Targets only the skin surface where cancer cells exist
- ✓Safe and well-tolerated by most patients
What to Expect During Treatment
Side Effects
