GentleCure Image-Guided SRT - skin cancer treatment

Skin Cancer Can Be Cured Without Surgery:  (855) 936-4411
For years, Mohs surgery was the standard treatment for people with skin cancer. Now, people with basal or squamous cell skin cancers have Image-Guided SRT (superficial radiation therapy) - the treatment option that cures skin cancer without surgery.
"Low amounts of X-ray energy are used to kill the cancer cells, which lets healthy skin grow back.
  Uses SRT technology with ultrasound images to find, measure, and treat the skin cancer cells and see it shrink over time to be sure the cancer is cured.
  Anesthesia is not needed.
  Fifteen to 20 short treatment sessions (about 15 minutes each) over the course of several weeks."

SRT treatment for skin cancer gains popularity, but it's not for everyone (2017):

What Is Image-Guided SRT (IGSRT) 2023?
"SRT has been around for years, but image-guided SRT is the first skin cancer treatment that uses an ultrasound probe to visualize the tumor. In the ultrasound images, healthy tissue appears on the scan in yellow and green while the skin cancer shows in black.

The images allow the doctor and radiotherapist to see how big and deep the cancer is at each stage of treatment. This allows them to target the exact depth where the treatment is needed to eliminate the cancer. The images also show the skin cancer shrinking over time, letting you know that your treatment is working."

The Treatment of Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer with Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy (2021): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33547631/
"Results: Treatment, guided by pre-treatment ultrasound imaging to adjust radiation energy and dose, combined with a fractionation treatment schedule of 20 or more treatment fractions, was safe and well tolerated. Of 2917 NMSC lesions treated, local tumor control was achieved in 2897 lesions, representing a 99.3% rate of control."
