Painless, Non-Surgical Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer Treatment (NMSC)
Explore Skin eBx
From a leading provider of electronic brachytherapy, skin eBx provides an effective, non-surgical,
convenient treatment option with excellent clinical and cosmetic results for appropriately selected
patients.1
Elekta Xoft offers patients and physicians a non-invasive alternative to surgery for NMSC treatment. With
Elekta Xoft, painless, scar-free treatment of NMSC is possible with skin eBx, a form of high dose rate, low
energy radiation therapy delivered in minutes over a short series of office visits.
While Mohs surgery is considered to be the standard of care for NMSC treatment, for some patients, surgery
is not an option or a preference.
Skin eBx is particularly ideal in treating anatomically challenging locations, such as the face, scalp,
nose, ears, arms and legs, as well as areas prone to difficulties in wound healing. Skin eBx may also be the
preferred option for patients who are not surgical candidates due to medical comorbidities, or patients with
higher-risk lesions requiring adjunct therapy to surgery. Other skin indications such as keloids are also
suitable for treatment with skin eBx.

We recently decided to adopt Elekta Xoft because it is a clinically proven treatment option for NMSC that offers patients the ability to complete a course of therapy in fewer treatments, compared to alternative treatments. While Mohs surgery certainly has a high cure rate, there are some patients for whom Xoft Skin eBx may be more suitable. For example, patients who are on blood thinners, or who have lesions in difficult-to-treat areas, such as the face, head, or neck. Patients with multiple NMSC lesions may also just reach a point of excision fatigue, and in these cases, they may prefer Xoft skin eBx, as it offers a painless, noninvasive approach to treatment, which yields excellent clinical and cosmetic results.”
