Electron Beam Therapy offers patients a state-of-the-art, non-surgical option for basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers. The treatment uses a very thin, non-penetrating electron beam to destroy cancer cells in the targeted area while allowing protection of healthy cells. It is particularly well-suited for treating cancer near the eyes, ears, nose or lips. For most patients, the regimen involves two to six weeks of daily treatments, five days a week, depending on the size and location of the cancer.
