Partial Video Transcript:

"Today's video we're going to talk about basal-cell cancers, and basal-cell cancers are the most common type of cancer out there. In fact, there's more basal-cell cancers than all the other cancers combined.

Now while basal-cell cancers have a very low chance of spreading internally, spreading to other organs, what we call metastasizing, they are still cancers and they still need to be respected and dealt with promptly. Because basal-cell cancers will get more and more locally destructive, and wreak havoc on the area in which it's growing.

So, basal-cell cancers are formed from chronic UV damage that accumulates over a lifetime. And once you've had one basal-cell cancer, you have an increased chance of having more types of skin cancer, so it's vitally important that you look yourself over every month to make sure that nothing is new, changing, growing or simply not healing. One of the biggest signs of a basal-cell cancer on your skin is a spot that you think is a pimple, but that pimple simply won't go away. In other words, all of us get pimples from time to time, but these guys heal within a week or two..."

A patient at our practice, Fred M. suffered from skin cancer. He had a very bad lesion on his nose. Rather than go under the knife, he had SRT-100 Superficial Radiotherapy done at Advanced Dermatology, PC.

This is an unscripted interview where we asked him about his experience.

Hear Dr. Lance Barazani Talk about SRT-100 Radiotherapy for skin cancer ►► https://youtu.be/3OiaK03ncOo

Our safe, non-surgical procedure has a 97% cure rate and cosmetically superior results.

The SRT-100™ delivers a precise,
painless, calibrated dose of gentle X-ray
that penetrates only a few millimeters
into the skin. It is highly effective,
painless, and cosmetically attractive
alternative to surgery in selected cancers
and patient populations. SRT treatment
for skin cancer is covered by most
medical insurances.
The SRT-100™ treats the most common
skin cancers Basal Cell Carcinoma and
Squamous Cell Carcinoma. These can be
found anywhere on the skin surface,
most often in sun-exposed areas.
Difficult to treat areas (scalp, nose, ears,
eyelids, lips, fingers, legs) do especially
well with SRT and patients avoid the
potential scarring and morbidity
associated with surgical excision.
Importantly, for patients with underlying
medical conditions or those on certain
medications (blood thinners, cardiac)
SRT offers a NON-surgical and gentle
treatment alternative.

Every year, more than one million people in the United States are diagnosed with skin cancer. Basal cell carcinoma is by far the most common one. Oftentimes related to sun exposure, basal cell carcinomas happen later in life, most often in Caucasians. Around the nose, around the eye and around the ear are the top three places a basal cell carcinoma can happen.

Spotting a basal cell carcinoma can be a challenge. It can present as just a red spot, a pearly little bump or a persistent spot that bleeds. Only a biopsy can determine whether you have basal cell carcinoma or not. If you have any of these symptoms it's important to see a dermatologist and get a skin biopsy to give you a definitive diagnosis.

Abigail, 27, noticed a spot on her nose that seemed to come from out of nowhere. She ignored it for a while, until she decided to have a dermatologist check. "The first dermatologist I saw just brushed it off..." she explained. But the spot was still concerning her 5-6 months later, so she went back and the biopsy showed basal cell carcinoma. That's when she was directed to Ada West Dermatology and one of Idahos' best Mohs Surgeons, Ryan Thorpe, MD, FAAD.
Dr. Thorpe spent 8 hours in surgery to eradicate the cancer on Abigail's nose and now, 7 months later, she's fully healed and you'd never know she had a significant section section of the skin off her nose removed.

We applaud Abigail for trusting her gut and getting the spot on her nose checked as well as for wearing hats and sunscreen everyday!!

Because skin cancer on the face is the last place anyone wants scarring, disfigurement or recurrence, a skilled Mohs surgeon with experience and high level training is imperative. Ada West Dermatology has two skilled surgeons- learn more about them here:
