Modern advances in medical technology now offer patients a more comfortable and convenient option for successfully treating squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma skin cancer.
In the past, a skin cancer diagnosis almost always led to invasive surgical treatment—but not anymore. At Dr. Nancy Becker's practice, we offer Radiant Aura, a simple and successful alternative to surgery. We can help you treat skin cancer including basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Radiation therapy works within cancer cells by damaging their ability to multiply. When these cells die, the body naturally eliminates them. Healthy cells are not affected in the same manner, as they can grow and repair themselves in a way that cancer cells cannot. Call to book and to see if Radiant Aura is right for your skin cancer.
Yes, our office is close by located in Bonney Lake.
Most patients will experience some redness around the treated area, like a sunburn after your treatment ends, the affected area will gradually heal as new, healthy skin develops underneath it.
A licensed technician uses a compact, portable machine to target low energy x-ray beams specifically at the site of your cancer. Radiant Aura only penetrates superficially, right where it’s needed—without affecting healthy skin and under-lying tissue. And you can receive treatment in whatever position you find comfortable.
While your exact treatment schedule will depend on your diagnosis and condition, most Radiant Aura treatments only take a few minutes and are scheduled at Dr. Becker’s Bonney Lake office, two to five times a week, for a period of a few weeks.
We have a clinic right across the street from our Bonney Lake office. The address is 8910 Main Street East, Suite C, Bonney Lake, WA 98391.
