What is another word for Surface Radiotherapy?
Pronunciation: [sˈɜːfɪs ɹˌe͡ɪdɪə͡ʊθˈɛɹəpi] (IPA) 
Surface radiotherapy, also known as superficial radiotherapy or contact radiotherapy, refers to a non-invasive cancer treatment where high-energy radiation is targeted at the surface of the skin. This therapy utilizes a lower energy beam compared to traditional radiotherapy, specifically aimed at treating skin cancers, dermatological conditions, and keloids. Synergistic with surgery, surface radiotherapy is a safe and effective alternative for patients with non-melanoma skin tumors. By precisely targeting the affected area, it provides a focused and customized treatment. With no need for anesthesia or incisions, it offers minimal downtime and minimal scarring. Additionally, this therapy is sometimes referred to as low-energy x-ray brachytherapy, providing a concise and descriptive term for this cutting-edge treatment.
