What do basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers look like?
Basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers are different from each other and look different on the skin. The good news is that both of them can be treated and, when spotted early, even cured.
Skin moles are often confused with skin cancer. Many people have moles on their skin. They are usually harmless. Sometimes moles are removed, but in a different way than how skin cancer is removed or treated.
It is important that your dermatologist perform a skin check each year and that you do a skin self-exam once a month. Tell him or her when you notice a new or unusual spot or mole on your skin.
GentleCure uses Image-Guided SRT, or Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy, to treat basal and squamous cell skin cancers without surgery. It is done by a specially trained healthcare provider called a radiation therapist. Your therapist works together with your dermatologist right in their office to be sure you know all your treatment options and exactly what will happen during treatment with GentleCure.
GentleCure is the first and only skin cancer treatment with ultrasound images. Those images show the radiation therapist how big and deep the skin cancer is, which allows the exact amount of X-ray energy to be used at each visit to kill the skin cancer. This low-level X-ray energy is like what dentists use to X-ray teeth.
GentleCure also uses those ultrasound images to let you and the dermatologist watch the skin cancer shrink over time and see treatment working. This surgery-free treatment involves no cutting, pain, wound care, anesthesia, or numbing medicine. There is also little to no bleeding or surgical scarring. During treatment with GentleCure, you can keep doing the things you love while your cancer is being cured.
