Skin cancer is among the most common forms of cancer in the United States—but with today’s advancements, treatment can be more effective, comfortable, and non-invasive than ever. At Grieshaber Dermatology in Covington, LA, we offer Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy (IG-SRT) using GentleCure®, a cutting-edge, surgery-free solution for non-melanoma skin cancers.
Dr. Robert Grieshaber, Dr. Emily Grieshaber, and Dr. Kristen Bice are proud to provide this advanced technology for patients seeking precise, scar-free skin cancer treatment with minimal downtime.
What Is IG-SRT with GentleCure®?
Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy (IG-SRT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-energy X-rays to treat basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, the two most common types of non-melanoma skin cancer. With GentleCure® technology, ultrasound imaging is used before and during each treatment session to precisely visualize and target cancerous cells. This image guidance allows for highly accurate delivery of therapy while protecting the surrounding healthy tissue.
Unlike surgery, IG-SRT does not involve cutting, stitches, or anesthesia—making it an ideal option for patients who are not good candidates for surgical excision or those who prefer a non-surgical approach.
