Radiation Dermatology

About Us

At the Radiation Dermatology Department, we focus on using precise radiation therapy to treat various skin conditions, including non-melanoma skin cancers and certain benign skin disorders. Our goal is to deliver effective treatments that target the affected areas while minimizing impact on surrounding healthy tissue.

Our Services

Targeted Radiation Therapy

We offer advanced radiation therapy techniques specifically designed for dermatological conditions. This includes Electron Beam Therapy (EBT) and other methods that provide accurate, localized treatment to address skin cancers and other skin issues.

Treatment for Skin Cancers

We specialize in the treatment of non-melanoma skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Our team uses targeted radiation to effectively treat these cancers, often as an alternative to surgical methods or in combination with other treatments.

Management of Benign Skin Conditions

In addition to treating cancers, we use radiation therapy for certain benign skin conditions that are resistant to other treatments. This includes conditions such as keloids and certain types of precancerous lesions.

Personalized Treatment Planning

We create individualized treatment plans based on detailed evaluations and diagnostic information. Our approach ensures that your treatment is tailored to your specific condition and needs, aiming for optimal results with minimal side effects.

Pre-Treatment Consultations

Before starting your radiation therapy, we conduct thorough consultations to explain the process, discuss potential side effects, and answer any questions you may have. Our goal is to ensure you are fully informed and comfortable with your treatment plan.

Post-Treatment Care and Monitoring

After completing your radiation therapy, we provide ongoing care to monitor your progress and manage any potential side effects. Follow-up appointments are essential for assessing treatment outcomes and making any necessary adjustments to your care plan.

Patient Support and Education

We are committed to providing clear, accessible information about your treatment and what to expect. Our team offers support and guidance throughout your treatment journey, including advice on skincare and managing any side effects.

Compassionate and Supportive Environment

From your initial consultation to the conclusion of your treatment, we strive to create a caring and respectful environment. Our staff is dedicated to providing compassionate care and ensuring that you feel supported and valued at every step of your treatment.
