IG-SRT treatments are typically scheduled multiple times per week. Most commonly, you’ll have sessions either 3 times a week or 5 times a week. Many clinics operate on a Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule or a Monday-through-Friday schedule. At our practice, we often do 3–5 treatments per week depending on what’s convenient and how quickly we want to complete the course. If you’re on a three-times weekly schedule, a course might last around 6-7 weeks; if five times weekly, it might last closer to 4 weeks – but the total number of treatments ends up comparable. The reason for frequent sessions is to maintain the treatment’s effectiveness; regular dosing keeps hitting the cancer cells as they go through their growth cycles. We space it out just enough to let healthy skin cells recover but keep the pressure on the tumor. In practical terms, you should be prepared to come in several days per week. We will work with you to set up a consistent schedule that suits your needs. Each session is short, as noted, so the frequent visits are usually manageable.
