If you have been diagnosed with basal or squamous cell carcinoma, you may have concerns about scarring, wound healing or preserving functionality in anatomically challenging areas.
What is skin eBx?
Skin eBx is an advanced, patient-friendly option for basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer treatment. Skin eBx provides an effective and convenient alternative to surgery allowing patients to return to normal activities immediately with no downtime.
What are the benefits of skin eBx?
Skin eBx provides patients with a targeted, non-invasive alternative to surgery for basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer treatment. While surgery is considered to be the standard of care for these cancers, for some patients, surgery is not an option or a preference. A completely non-invasive approach, no cutting, bleeding or stitching is required with skin eBx, offering reduced risk of complications compared to surgery. Skin eBx offers patients and physicians a safe and effective treatment option for basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer with valuable benefits including:

How does skin eBx work?
Skin eBx uses a miniaturized x-ray source to deliver a precise radiation dose to your cancer lesion. This targeted treatment directs the radiation to the size and shape of the cancerous area, carefully destroying cancer cells and sparing surrounding healthy tissue.
From the market leader in skin electronic brachytherapy, skin eBx offers a safe and effective outpatient option delivering excellent clinical and cosmetic results. More than 10,000 basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer patients have been successfully treated with skin eBx.
Treatment requires just a few brief visits to your doctor. An individualized treatment regimen and prescription including customized shielding will be recommended by your doctor based on your age, medical history, the type, size and location of your cancer, as well as other criteria. Skin eBx is administered in just five simple steps.
