Patients should be offered surgical as well as non-surgical treatment options to treat their common skin cancers.

We talk about our lovely patient’s journey with a basal cell cancer diagnosis on the scalp. After a dermatology PA recommended Mohs surgery as her only option and the patient experienced a severe adverse reaction to the numbing agent during the biopsy, our patient decided to research alternative treatments. She discovered IG-SRT (Image-Guided Superficial Radiotherapy) through GentleCure and chose this non-invasive option instead of surgery, finding our dermatology practice easily and quickly, and beginning her first GentleCure treatment.

Mohs surgery is considered the Gold Standard for treating basal cell cancers, but it is not the only treatment that should be discussed with and offered to patients.

As a non-surgical alternative treatment, I always review the risks and benefits associated with our GentleCure (IG-SRT) treatments. GentleCure has several advantages. For example, it has the unique advantage of using High Resolution Image-Guided Ultrasound to measure the width and depth of the skin cancer prior to starting treatment, and it is used to guide the superficial x-rays during treatment. Patients are very comforted watching their tumors shrinking with subsequent sessions. Upon completion of the treatment, the Ultrasound can show the replacement of the treated skin cancer with normal healthy cells on the monitor. GentleCure is a remarkably well-tolerated treatment, and is virtually painless, with no needles, no cutting, no bleeding and no scarring. The procedure is also relatively quick to administer per visit with the actual ontime for the superfical radiation taking typically less than a minute. Furthermore, GentleCure (IG-SRT) is suitable for patients with contraindications for surgery (such as hypersensitivity reactions to local anesthetics, severe cardiac disease, or coagulopathy or those who simply prefer not to undergo surgical procedures to avoid the associated risks, pain and scarring, or just don’t want to go under the knife. GentleCure has a 99.7% cure rate & typically covered by most insurances.

“I chose GentleCure this time instead of Mohs surgery because I didn’t want to get another scar on my nose.”

Our very nice patient presents today for his fourth GentleCure session for treating a basal cell cancer on the bridge of his nose. Unfortunately, his past experience with Mohs surgery for a different basal cell cancer on another part of his nose left him with an unsightly scar. He chose GentleCure for its very high cure rate without having to undergo any surgery, cutting, bleeding, pain, restrictions or scarring.

When taking into consideration the patient’s medical history, the tumor type, location and size, and past experiences with surgical removals, I have always been and continue to be a strong advocate of Mohs surgery where clinically indicated. I review the risks and benefits of Mohs surgery along with the Mohs surgery cure rate of 98-99%. And while Mohs surgery is considered the Gold Standard for treating skin cancers, I also believe patients deserve to have non-surgical treatment options, in particular our #1 non-surgical alternative, the painless GentleCure (IG-SRT) treatment, especially when dealing with cosmetically sensitive areas of the face where concerns of potential noticeable and/or disfiguring scarring can be a major concern as is the case with our patient here in this video.

The GentleCure (IG-SRT) is low energy X-ray treatment guided by high resolution dermal ultrasound imaging, which determines the depth and extent of the skin cancers measured down to a hundredth of a millimeter before, during, and upon completion of the treatment. With GentleCure there is no surgery, no cutting, no needles, no bleeding, no anesthesia, no pain and no scarring, with a 99.7% cure rate and a 99.8% patient preference rate. It can be a great choice for basal cell, squamous cell and squamous cell in situ skin cancers. GentleCure is typically covered by most insurance plans.

Sometimes, patients are not good surgical candidates due to having certain underlying medical conditions or are unwilling to get Mohs Surgery.

We discuss how our GentleCure treatment
(IG-SRT), using Ultrasound Image Guided Superficial Radiation, offers a great non-surgical solution for common skin cancer removal for basal cell, squamous cell, and squamous cell in situ skin cancers, especially for cosmetically sensitive areas of the face.

Our lovely patient shares her unpleasant past experiences with multiple Mohs procedures for basal cell and squamous cell cancers, and explains how her medical conditions like Atrial Fibrillation, Blood Thinners and Epinephrine Allergies make traditional surgery risky and undesirable for her.

Besides not being a good surgical candiidate, our patient is also unwilling to have another Mohs Surgery, and she is seeking a non-surgical alternative treatment.

We explain how GentleCure (IG-SRT) provides a 99.7% cure rate without surgery, needles, cutting, pain, recovery time, downtime, or scarring, making the GentleCure an excellent option for treatment and cure. Our patient is very much looking forward to having the GentleCure treatments for her most recent multiple basal cell skin cancers.

“I did not want my face to be cut on!”

We follow up with our lovely patient six weeks after completing her GentleCure treatment for basal cell cancer of the top of her nose. Our patient shares her experience choosing this non-surgical option of GentleCure over another dermatologist’s prior recommendation for Mohs surgery, which she rejected because she did not want to have a surgical removal of her skin cancer and end up with a noticeable or disfiguring scar.

She very enthusiastically points out at
her (6)-week follow-up visit today that there is virtually no trace of her skin cancer for anyone to see. No scarring at all. She was very excited to ring the bell having very successfully completed her GentleCure treatment, and we are very happy as well with her complete resolution of her skin cancer and beautiful cosmetic result!

Our previous patient expressed his happiness six weeks after completing his Gentle Cure treatment for two squamous cell cancers of the scalp that resolved completely. These two squamous cell cancers had previously been treated by Mohs surgery, but unfortunately recurred.

Here we show the “Before” image of his squamous cell cancers taken just before beginning his Gentle Cure treatment, followed by the “After” image, which was taken six weeks after completing his Gentle Cure treatment.

Our very happy gentleman is very pleased with his results, which showed his squamous cell cancers to be completely cleared confirmed by UltraSound.

Unlike with surgical removal, with Gentlecure there is no surgery, no needles, no cutting, no bleeding, no anxiety, no pain, no downtime, and no scarring. The Gentlecure cure rate is 99.7% and treatments are typically covered by most insurance plans.

If you have been recently diagnosed with a common skin cancer, such as a basal cell, squamous cell, or squamous cell in situ cancer, but want to avoid the pain and scarring associated with a surgical procedure, especially in a cosmetically sensitive area of the face, we invite you to consider the Gentle Cure treatment ....our #1 non-surgical alternative to treat these common skin cancers.
