Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT) System - Electron Therapy for Skin Cancer - Medical / Health Care - Clinical Services
Mohs surgery has long provided the traditional path to effective treatment for skin cancer. Yet for many patients, surgery may not be most desirable due to medical contraindications, their active lifestyle, and/or potential cosmetic concerns. For those patients, there is now a convenient, non-invasive option: electron therapy for skin cancer from IntraOp®.
Due to the high costs and complexity of full-scale, megavoltage linear accelerators (LINACs), patient accessibility to electron-beam therapy was limited, at best. Until now. As the proven pioneer in electron (particle) therapy, IntraOp overcame this barrier by leveraging its proprietary x-band technology. This innovative approach minimizes the cost of particle therapy with electrons, reduces the device footprint, and augments the dermatologist’s existing practice workflow. In other words, it’s designed specifically for the dermatology clinic. With this, IntraOp unlocks the promise of non-invasive electron therapy for skin cancer. And we bring it closer to home. So patients can enjoy the many benefits of this precise non-surgical treatment in the convenience of their local clinic.
As a complement to traditional surgery—and specifically Mohs surgery—electron therapy has been administered by large hospitals and academic cancer centers for decades as the preferred non-surgical alternative for treating non-melanoma skin cancer.
IntraOp’s innovative electron-beam technology provides sub-millimeter accuracy in delivering the most precise doses of electron particles. Generally prescribed to treat the tumor bed only a few millimeters below the surface of the skin, this precise, non-surgical solution delivers significantly less dose to the healthy tissues and organs that may exist below the tumor bed as compared with x-ray or orthovoltage radiation.
This is IntraOp designed for skin cancer. And it represents the new standard of care from the proven electron cancer care company with decades of clinical data and many thousands of patients successfully treated worldwide.
