Superficial Radiation Therapy | Overview
Many radiation oncology departments are in need of efficient and reliable solutions for skin cancer treatments. The TOPEX SRT-100 superficial treatment system is an excellent choice.
The SRT-100 can increase the efficiency of a radiation oncology department by providing quick treatment times and not tying up an expensive linear accelerator. It is installed quickly and easily, and can be installed in a CT or simulator room.
It is also an optimal replacement for an older superficial unit that may no longer provide the stable power and functionality to support quality treatments.
Many facilities have used their SRT-100 to increase skin cancer referral cases as well. As of May 2009, more than 3000 skin cancer patients have been treated successfully with the TOPEX SRT-100. As a standard of care for skin cancer, the TOPEX system provides an alternative to surgery for treating basal and squamous cell carcinomas, especially for those skin conditions requiring difficult or extensive surgery in sensitive head and neck regions such as the fold in the nose, eyelids, lips, corners of the mouth and the lining of the ear that would otherwise lead to a poor cosmetic outcome. The TOPEX treatment procedure does not require the use of anesthetics and eliminates the need for skin grafting when surgery could result in a less than desirable cosmetic outcome. This procedure is painless and benefits those patients who may have a fear of surgery and needles, patients who have contraindications for reconstructive surgery that are taking blood thinning medications and for those that cannot tolerate general anesthesia.
