What Is IG-SRT?

Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy (IG-SRT) is an FDA-cleared treatment for non-melanoma skin cancers, including basal and squamous cell carcinoma. Unlike traditional surgery, IG-SRT uses precisely targeted, low-dose radiation to destroy cancer cells at the surface of the skin, guided by high-resolution ultrasound imaging. Treatments are quick, comfortable, and performed in-office by our dermatology and radiation services team.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your treatment journey begins with a comprehensive skin cancer evaluation by Dr. Hafeez to confirm that Image-Guided SRT is the most appropriate option for your specific case. Once treatment begins, each session is carefully designed for comfort and effectiveness. Ultrasound imaging is used to visualize and map the lesion, ensuring precise targeting of the cancerous tissue.

Low-dose, superficial radiation is then delivered without pain, cutting, or anesthesia. Sessions are brief—typically lasting 15 to 20 minutes—and are scheduled several times per week over the course of a few weeks. Throughout your treatment, we closely monitor your progress to ensure successful outcomes. There is no required downtime between sessions, so you can return to work and resume your normal daily activities immediately after each visit.

Who’s a Good Candidate?

IG-SRT is typically recommended for adults diagnosed with basal or squamous cell carcinoma who:

Want to avoid surgery or scarring
Have lesions on visible or delicate areas (like the nose, eyelids, ears, or hands)
Are at higher risk of surgical complications
Prefer a non-invasive, conservative treatment approach

During your consultation, we’ll discuss your diagnosis and help you understand all available options so you can make an informed choice.
