Electron Therapy — The Latest Advancement in Non-invasive Treatment for Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer

Modern Treatment for Active Lifestyles. Electron therapy is a convenient treatment for patients, requiring as few as 8 to 15 minutes at their local dermatology clinic. As a non-invasive solution, it produces no cutting or scars, and patients typically may remain on prescribed blood thinners or other medications. It is particularly well-suited for treating cosmetically sensitive areas such as the ears, nose, lips, or around the eyes as well as lower extremities where limited blood flow can be an issue for some patients. The beauty of this treatment protocol is its effectiveness with reported cure rates of 90–98%. Electron therapy is recognized as a safe and effective non-invasive treatment by the AAD, ASTRO, and the NCCN guidelines. Electron Therapy should be prescribed and delivered under the supervision of a board-certified radiation oncologist.
