Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer in the United States. 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer by the age of 70. However, when detected early, there is a 99% 5-year survival rate.

There are several forms of skin cancer, some of the most common include:

  • Basal and Squamous Cell Skin Cancer
  • Melanoma Skin Cancer
  • Merkel Cell Skin Cancer
  • Lymphoma
  • Kaposi Sarcoma

At South Bay Radiation Oncology, we utilized Skin eBx®, which is provided by Xoft®, to treat skin cancer. Skin eBx offers a non-invasive alternative to skin cancer treatment. If you notice something new, changing or unusual on your skin, it may be skin cancer. Contact our support team today to set up a consultation.

What is the Xoft® System?

The Xoft System delivers a low energy form of radiation at a high dose rate. This allows the treatment to be delivered in a matter of minutes across a short series of office visits. Typically, non-melanoma skin cancer is treated with Mohs surgery, however, surgery isn’t always an option or preference for some patients. The Skin eBx offering from Xoft allows a patient to be treated efficiently and non-surgically.

An added benefit of the Skin eBx treatment is it’s ability to treat anatomically changing locations, such as the face, scalp, nose, ears, arms and legs.
