Skin Cancer Treatments

Jupiter Medical Center offers the latest innovation in skin cancer treatment – Superficial Electron Beam Radiotherapy and surface brachytherapy, non-surgical alternatives to treat localized non-melanoma skin cancers – both basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas.

This Medicare-approved therapy is particularly suited for cancers found on the face, including the nose, ears, and eyelids. Superficial Electron Beam Radiotherapy uses precisely-targeted radiation therapy to destroy skin cancers while maintaining excellent cosmetic results.

How Does Radiotherapy Work?

Technologically-advanced radiation therapy precisely targets skin cancer cells, sparing normal tissues beneath the surface. A small dose of radiation is delivered daily and destroys thousands of cancer cells by attacking their DNA. Each night, your own skin cells repair the radiation effects and regenerate. Normal skin will become red and inflamed by the end of treatment, much like a sunburn. Once healed, it is often difficult to detect where the treatment was delivered. Fortunately, cancer cells do not have the ability to recover from radiation effects as well as normal healthy tissues.

Superficial Electron Beam Radiotherapy is a good option for those facing possible cosmetic alterations from surgery, or those for whom surgery could pose a health risk. Long-term studies have demonstrated the success of treating both small and large skin cancers with radiotherapy.

Surface brachytherapy offers a non-invasive treatment option for smaller non-melanoma skin cancers which can typically be performed in fewer fractions that superficial electron beam radiation with excellent outcomes. Our dedicated and experienced team delivers targeted electron beam radiation therapy to destroy cancer cells while shielding normal tissue. Each painless treatment takes only minutes, requires no anesthesia or cutting, and no downtime.

If you have been diagnosed with skin cancer, be sure discuss all of your treatment options with your doctor, or call Jupiter Medical Center’s Radiation Oncology Department to learn more about Superficial Electron Beam Radiotherapy or surface brachytherapy for skin cancer.

Treatment Options

Skin cancer is one of the easiest cancers to treat because it can often be found early and removed completely through surgery. After your initial evaluation, our team will determine whether or not surgery is the most effective option for treating your cancer. If your cancer has not yet had a chance to spread, then we have a chance to destroy while it is working its way through the outer layer of skin.

  • Skin cancer is typically treated with one, or a combination of the following:
  • Radiation
  • Surgery
  • Cryosurgery (freezing and destroying cancer cells)
  • Medication
  • Clinical trial treatments

While this can be an overwhelming experience, our team will guide you through each step of the treatment process. We will make you understand your condition and how we can fight it. Learning about cancer and the treatment options is often a great source of relief to patients, who no longer feel like they are engaged in a battle with an unknown, seemingly unstoppable enemy.

Although skin cancer can often be treated and cured early, it is important to remain vigilant. Once you develop skin cancer, you are at a higher risk of developing it again. Be sure to perform regular self-examinations in case it manifests somewhere else on the skin.
