By Jutta Schulze

Sensus Healthcare Inc (NASDAQ:SRTS) is a medical device company that develops a unique, low-dose photon radio therapy, known as superficial radiation therapy (SRT), used to treat skin cancer and keloids. The FDA-approved method is non-invasive, painless, and highly effective for a certain type of carcinoma that accounts for approximately 98% of skin cancers.

Patients receive various sessions of treatments that last only about 40 seconds each. The treatment involves no cutting, anesthesia, nor scars, thus allowing medical professionals to offer their patients a painless alternative to traditional carcinoma removal methods.
