Brachytherapy offers an excellent non-invasive radiation therapy solution to complement or replace surgery for skin cancer. With our specialized solutions, a high radiation dose can be delivered to the tumor in a few fractions with a low dose to the surrounding area, providing a short and effective treatment to kill cancer cells.
Our wide array of applicators for brachytherapy for skin cancers are available for many applications, ranging from intracavitary to interstitial use and designed to deliver increasingly more precise doses in brachytherapy.

Another option used to treat skin cancer cells is electronic brachytherapy with Esteya.
For healthcare professionals For patients
Esteya gives patients and the healthcare team an effective and non-invasive alternative to surgery for treating skin cancer: electronic brachytherapy.
Esteya provides a targeted yet gentle skin cancer treatment through the delivery of a precise high dose of radiation to the cancerous site, minimizing radiation to surrounding healthy tissue and reducing chance of scarring. Because the treatment is short and gentle, patients can expect a rapid recovery period and may return to their normal routine quickly.
Esteya is especially beneficial in treating cosmetically challenging areas such as the nose, lips, cheeks, temples and fingers, and for areas prone to wound closure problems, such as the shin and scalp. Esteya may also be the preferred option for patients for whom surgery presents a high intra-operative or post-operative risk of complications.
Esteya provides an elegant approach for treating skin cancer, featuring the right size and portability to be used anywhere in the clinic.
