Skin Cancer
Advanced, non-surgical skin cancer care is now available in Englewood. With SkinCure Oncology technology paired with the GentleCure™ approach, patients can treat non-melanoma skin cancer safely, comfortably, and without the invasiveness of traditional surgery. Experience high-precision treatment that protects your healthy skin, supports excellent cosmetic outcomes, and helps you heal with confidence.
What Is GentleCure?
GentleCure is an innovative skin cancer treatment that uses Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy (Image-Guided SRT) to eliminate cancer cells without surgery. The device directs low-energy radiation only into the top layers of the skin, where non-melanoma cancers form.
Treatment is painless, non-invasive, and typically completed through a short series of sessions. Because GentleCure avoids cutting or removing tissue, it offers excellent cosmetic outcomes—especially for sensitive areas like the face, scalp, ears, and neck.
For patients in Englewood looking for a more comfortable, scar-free approach, GentleCure has become one of the most trusted alternatives to Mohs surgery.
What Can GentleCure Treat?
GentleCure is FDA-cleared to treat:
- Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)
- Selected pre-cancerous lesions (Actinic Keratosis)
- Skin cancers located on the nose, lips, cheeks, forehead, ears, scalp, chest, legs, and hands
- Lesions in areas where surgery might cause noticeable scarring or functional challenges
Its precision makes it particularly valuable for cosmetically visible areas or thin, delicate skin.
How GentleCure Works
GentleCure uses an image-guided approach to locate and map the cancer beneath the skin’s surface. Each treatment session directs controlled, low-dose radiation to the exact cancer site, destroying abnormal cells while keeping surrounding skin intact.
