That’s right, Re RT. What are you doing for preventative? I can give you some ideas if you need it.

Dermatologist are offering a technology called Superficial Radiation Treatment (SRT). The treatment is administered on equipment manufactured by Sensus Healthcare in Boca Raton, Florida. Sensus is a small company, they are aggressively marketing their machines to a turn-key customer, called Skin Cure Oncology. Skin Cure Oncology has a website called Gentile Cure and they are actively setting up partnerships with Dermatologists all across the USA and internationally.

SRT may be a good treatment for SCC for lesions at the face, neck and arms. Because of my adverse experience, I have thoroughly researched this technology and can provide document that SRT is contraindicated for the treatment of SCC on the lower limbs. I have documented this information on the FDA Maude Database, which is available to any patient to submit any adverse event from a medical device. Search FDA Maude Database, Manufacturer "Sensus Healthcare", Dates "2016 to present". You will find multiple adverse events associated with the treatment of lower limbs.

I empathize with each of you going through Mohs surgery on your lower legs, however, I can testify the risk of a more serious non-healing skin ulceration is more difficult if you use the SRT option for lower limbs.

I believe this is the RT you may be referring to if it is administered by a Dermatologist. Otherwise, a radiation health physicist would be involved in the administration of Radiation Therapy (RT), and this would be outside of the scope of what Sensus / Skin Cure Oncology offer in their sales program to Dermatologists.

In answer to your last comment, it would absolutely be helpful to hear from you on any preventative strategies you use to protect yourself from SCC in lower limbs. We all would benefit from you input.
