Clinic Overview
Radiotherapy (or Radiation Therapy) is used for the treatment of most types of skin cancers. It involves the use of high energy x-rays focused on the area to be treated.
Radiotherapy has a cure rate equal to that of surgery and is often the treatment of choice when surgery is difficult, or not suitable, because of other medical conditions.
Treatment is not limited to skin cancers. A number of other conditions can be treated with radiotherapy, including:
- Bowen’s Disease
- Kaposi’s Sarcoma
- Keloid scars
- Mycosis Fungoides
Please note:
- Patient may not be suitable candidates for surgery due to co-morbidities
- Patient may require further treatment post-surgery for management of incomplete removal of cancerous cells.
Radiotherapy is currently on hold until a therapist is found.
