BURR RIDGE, IL, June 19, 2025 — SkinCure Oncology, the industry leader in providing a comprehensive cancer center model for the delivery of Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy (Image-Guided SRT or IGSRT) for the treatment of nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC), presented to dermatology patients and professionals as the GentleCure Experience™, today announced its first availability in Douglas County. KMC Dermatology in Lawrence is the first medical practice in the county to offer this GentleCure™ experience.
Image-Guided SRT is the only treatment for nonmelanoma skin cancer (basal and squamous cell carcinoma) that uses ultrasound imaging to help clinicians direct low-level x-rays to targeted areas of the skin, killing cancer cells. For patients treated with Image-Guided SRT, the cure rate (freedom from recurrence at six years) has been shown to be greater than 99 percent, with researchers reporting that for appropriately selected early-stage nonmelanoma skin cancers, Image-Guided SRT is a clinically equivalent alternative to Mohs surgery and statistically significant in superiority to non-Image-Guided SRT.
Kyle Anderson, M.D., of KMC Dermatology, noted that “Over 800 individuals in Douglas County are expected to be diagnosed with nonmelanoma skin cancer this year, and it is absolutely essential for them to have information on all available treatment options, both surgical and nonsurgical, so they can make informed decisions about their care. Image-Guided SRT, the most exciting technological innovation in dermatology today, is the new standard of care for early stage nonmelanoma skin cancer. We call it the GentleCure experience, and we are proud to be the first in the county to offer it.”
Kerwin Brandt, chief executive officer of Chicago-based SkinCure Oncology, said, “We are delighted to partner with KMC Dermatology to offer this highly effective, noninvasive treatment option for their patients. It is critical that patients everywhere have the choice of treating their nonmelanoma skin cancer without surgery.”
