Dr. Ken Takegami, MD., and his team at Adult and Pediatric Dermatology of Tullahoma, recently completed the treatment of his first patients on the RADiant dual modality radiotherapy system, expanding his non-melanoma skin cancer treatment options with a non-surgical alternative.
"I wanted to offer superficial radiotherapy for my older patients, many of whom are what I describe as 'Mohs fatigued'," says Dr. Takegami. "RADiant is an excellent non-surgical alternative to treat their non-melanoma skin cancer."
