What is GentleCure?
Image–Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy is a nonsurgical treatment that uses low levels of X–ray
energy to kill cancer cells and allow normal tissue to grow back in its place. For many people dealing
with skin cancer, Image–Guided SRT can be a highly effective treatment option without the downtime,
side effects, and cosmetic issues sometimes associated with surgery.
