Xoft® Electronic Brachytherapy
Xoft® Electronic Brachytherapy for Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer
The Dermatology & Mohs Surgery Institute is pleased to offer Xoft® Electronic Brachytherapy (eBx), an advanced, non-surgical treatment option for select non-melanoma skin cancers. This innovative technology delivers low-energy X-rays directly to the cancer site, allowing for precise treatment while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue.
What Is Xoft® Electronic Brachytherapy?
Xoft® eBx is a form of targeted radiation therapy designed specifically for superficial skin cancers, such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Using a specialized applicator placed directly over the lesion, low-energy X-rays are delivered in a highly controlled manner—destroying cancer cells at the source while preserving nearby skin.
Unlike traditional radiation therapy, Xoft® does not require a hospital visit or shielded treatment room and is performed conveniently in our office.
Who Is a Candidate for Xoft®?
Xoft® may be an excellent option for patients who:
- Have select non-melanoma skin cancers
- Prefer to avoid surgery
- Are not ideal surgical candidates due to medical conditions
- Have lesions in cosmetically or functionally sensitive areas such as the face, nose, ears, scalp, or legs
Your provider will determine if Xoft® is appropriate for you during a personalized consultation.
Benefits of Xoft® Treatment
- Non-surgical – no incisions or stitches
- Excellent cosmetic outcomes with minimal scarring
- Precise, targeted therapy that protects healthy skin
- Convenient in-office treatment

What to Expect During Treatment
Treatment is typically delivered over 8–12 short sessions, scheduled several times per week. Each session lasts only a few minutes. Because Xoft® is non-invasive, most patients tolerate treatment very well and are able to resume normal activities immediately.
