Interested in Curing Skin Cancer Without Surgery?

GentleCure offers a safe, surgery-free treatment with over a 99% cure rate for basal and squamous cell skin cancers. Conducted in-office over a few weeks using advanced Image-guided SRT technology, it's the only treatment with ultrasound imaging, allowing real-time monitoring of progress until all signs of cancer disappear.

What to Expect With Treatment

GentleCure (Image-Guided SRT) effectively treats skin cancer without the discomfort and cosmetic issues of surgery. There's no cutting, scarring, or need for reconstructive surgery, allowing you to continue your daily activities as usual.


  • During each treatment session, you'll sit comfortably as ultrasound gel is applied to the cancer site. Using an imaging wand, we'll examine a detailed image of your cancer on screen, which you can also view. This helps us measure the tumor's size and shape, determine the precise treatment dose, and define the treatment area.


  • After imaging, the device arm is positioned over the treatment site, delivering the exact X-ray energy dose to treat the cancer while preserving healthy tissue.



  • Each session lasts about 15 minutes, and you'll return for short sessions several times a week. Within 4 to 7 weeks, treatment will be complete.

GentleCure (Image-Guided SRT) Has a Proven Track Record Supported by Scientific Research and Clinical Studies.

At Bradenton Dermatology & Laser Center, our team of dermatologists reviewed the published research, and here is what we found:

  • In 2021, chart reviews of 1632 patients undergoing Image-Guided SRT for early-stage basal or squamous cell skin cancers revealed a 99.3% cure rate across 2917 treated skin cancers, comparable to or surpassing Mohs surgery.


  • In 2022 and 2023, new studies confirmed Image-Guided SRT as a superior first-line treatment for basal and squamous cell skin cancers compared to non-image-guided radiation therapies. This suggests that both doctors and patients should consider Image-Guided SRT on par with Mohs surgery as a standard care option.

Treatment Results – Seeing Is Believing!

Every case of skin cancer is unique, so treatment outcomes can differ among patients. However, the images below showcase typical results observed in patients who underwent GentleCure (Image-Guided SRT) treatment.

SIMULATION

Affected area simulation stage

BEFORE TREATMENT

Before undergoing GentleCure (Image-Guided SRT) treatment, a patient presented with basal cell skin cancer on the top of the ear. The cancer is visible on the skin, and the ultrasound image vividly illustrates its full depth, width, and breadth beneath the skin.

MID-TREATMENT

Affected area mid-treatment stage

DURING TREATMENT

Around halfway through treatment with GentleCure (Image-Guided SRT), a noticeable reduction in the size of the cancer on the skin's surface is observed. Additionally, the ultrasound image depicts a corresponding decrease in the size of the cancer beneath the skin.

2-WEEK FOLLOW-UP

Affected area 2 week follow up stage

AFTER TREATMENT

During the two-week follow-up visit post-treatment completion, no signs of cancer are evident on the outside of the ear. Furthermore, the ultrasound image indicates ongoing elimination of the cancer by GentleCure (Image-Guided SRT). At the 30-week follow-up appointment, the ultrasound image revealed no remaining signs of cancer.


Side Effects and Cosmetic Results

Using X-ray energy to eradicate cancer cells prompts natural replacement with healthy tissue over time, avoiding surgical scarring or reconstructive procedures. However, there's a slight risk of skin atrophy and pigment changes at the treatment site, along with potential inflammation. Topical remedies can mitigate these effects, which typically dissipate within 2 to 6 weeks post-treatment. Additionally, temporary hair loss in the treated area is possible. Notably, in 7 years of GentleCure (Image-Guided SRT) use, there have been no reported instances of secondary skin cancers resulting from treatment.
