What is GentleCure, and is it the same as IG-SRT?

GentleCure is essentially a branded name or program referring to image-guided superficial radiation therapy. Central Oregon Dermatology offers IG-SRT under the GentleCure program, but the underlying treatment is IG-SRT. In other words, GentleCure is IG-SRT – it’s marketed as a gentle, surgery-free cure for skin cancer using this advanced image-guided technology. The GentleCure name emphasizes the patient-friendly aspects: no cutting, a 99%+ cure rate, ultrasound guidance to see the cancer, and treatment right in the office. So if you hear our office or materials talk about “GentleCure,” it means you’ll be getting IG-SRT with ultrasound guidance. It’s not a different procedure; it’s the same IG-SRT approach, often highlighted under that name to let patients know it’s a kinder alternative to surgery.
