Radiotherapy Versus Curaderm-BEC5

Radiotherapy uses X-rays in amounts much higher than those used in ordinary mammogram or chest X-rays. The radiation damages genetic material of all cells. These X-rays do not differentiate between cancer and non cancerous cells and will kill both. The recurrance rate of cancers is high when using this procedure. Radiotherapy also can cause painful rashes, redness, dryness, hair loss, non healing ulcers and other changes in skin texture and colour. These changes may become more noticible years later and there is a risk that a different type of skin cancer can develop in the treated area. Radiotherapy is also commonly used in addition to surgery.

Curaderm-BEC5, unlike Radiotherapy, only kills the cancerous cells in the skin, normal healthy skin cells are unaffected. The dead cancer cells are then replaced with fresh new normal skin cells during the treatment of Curaderm-BEC5. Over 50,000 Patients have used Curaderm to eliminate Skin Cancer - NO CANCER HAS EVER RETURNED, and it is a safe alternative to radiotherapy.
