What is Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT)?

Superficial Radiation Therapy, also commonly referred to as SRT, is a common procedure to treat basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma in Florida. These two types of cancer, known for rarely spreading throughout the body, are commonly treated with SRT as it is a safe and efficient way to treat the affected areas. SRT uses low-energy Radiation Therapy that only penetrates a very short distance into the skin, ensuring that cancer on the surface of the skin is treated without damaging the deeper layers of skin underneath.
