Radiotherapy for Non-Cancer Conditions

Radiation can be used for benign conditions of the skin. ​These are not cancer but are troublesome because they have a population of cells that divide regularly when they should not, causing symptoms. Radiotherapy is effective because it slows the pace of cell division.

Benign conditions include Rosacea, Keloid, Psoriasis, Extramammary Pagets Disease (EMPD), hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), Disseminated Superficial Actinic Porokeratosis (DSAP) can be treated with radiotherapy.
