Does all skin cancer need radiation therapy?

No. Radiation therapy is typically recommended only for certain skin cancers or situations where surgery may not be ideal. Some patients may receive radiation therapy after surgery to reduce the risk of cancer returning, while others may use it as a primary treatment option.

How does radiation therapy work?

Radiation therapy uses targeted energy to damage and destroy cancer cells while minimizing harm to the surrounding healthy tissue. Over time, the treated cancer cells are unable to grow or spread, allowing the body to naturally remove them. Treatment plans are carefully customized based on the type, size, and location of the skin cancer being treated.

Will my skin cancer come back after I have radiation therapy?

Radiation therapy has a 95% cure rate. However, ongoing monitoring and regular skin cancer screenings remain important after treatment to support long-term skin health and early detection of any future concerns.

Is there any downtime with this treatment?

Most patients experience little to no downtime after their radiation therapy in Deerfield Beach. You can typically return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment, though the treated area may gradually become irritated or sensitive over the course of treatment.

Are there any side effects from the radiation?

Side effects are usually localized to the treatment area and may include redness, dryness, irritation, peeling, tenderness, or temporary skin discoloration. These effects are often mild and improve after treatment is completed. Your provider will review possible side effects and aftercare recommendations before beginning therapy.

- Harry C.

I have been visiting Dr. Green for years. He and his staff have always been super professional and treated me with compassion. More importantly, he made me comfortable that i was getting treatment that was necessary rather than merely advisable. I've recommended him to my family and friends and heard similar results. In today's world where there are so many options and, because of technology, a real risk of disconnect between patient and doctor, Dr. Green has a unique way of removing these risks. Not only has he provided excellent care, but he treatments have changed my life. Thank you, Dr. Green and team!

"I recently visited Green Dermatology & Cosmetic Center in Deerfield Beach, and I can’t say enough good things about my experience! From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, making me feel right at ease. Dr. Jason Green is a true professional—knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He took the time to listen to my concerns and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, which I really appreciated. The office itself is modern and spotless, and it’s clear they’re using the latest technology. I went in for a skin consultation and ended up trying one of their cosmetic treatments—my skin has never looked better! If you’re looking for top-notch dermatology care in a friendly environment, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!"

- Jay

I've been going to see Dr Green at Green Dermatology for several years. His staff is top notch and quite professional. The office is very modern and exceptionally clean as opposed to some other's I have been to in the past. Dr Green is extremely knowledgeable, he quickly identified the skin condition I was experiencing and had an action plan ready. They sent over all the prescriptions to my pharmacy digitally and they were ready by the time i got there. These days it is hard to find good doctors who actually take the time and care about their patients. Dr Green does!! I highly recommend him and his staff.

- Tom K.

I was traveling and I came down with a vicious contact allergy which caused the worst (near) full body rash of my life. Green Dermatology was geographically convenient from my hotel and they saw me immediately. There was ample parking available. When I arrived, the waiting room was immaculate and I was warmly greeted by the front staff. They acknowledged my visible worry and discomfort with warmth and compassion. When I saw Dr. Green, he was patient when listening and, by his careful questioning, I could tell he was smart and a thoughtful diagnostician. He wrote me a script for a 5-day course of meds, which turned out to be the perfect duration to completely clear up my rash. From beginning to end, the appointment could not have been more perfect. I'm so grateful.

"I had such a great experience with Dr Jason Green and his staff...."

- Tina D.

I had such a great experience with Dr Jason Green and his staff. When I arrived, the front desk staff was so kind and welcoming, which immediately helped ease my nerves. I filled out some paperwork and sat for 5 minutes waiting for my appointment. I was a little anxious since this was my first time getting Botox, but they made the check-in process smooth and simple. When I met Dr. Jason Green, he took the time to talk me through everything, asking about my concerns and what kind of results I was hoping for. He explained the process in a way that made me feel completely at ease, and I never felt rushed. During the treatment, he was incredibly gentle and precise, and to my surprise, it was quick and nearly painless. Afterward, his staff gave me clear aftercare instructions and made sure I didn’t have any lingering questions. I left feeling confident and excited about my results, which turned out even better than I expected—natural and exactly what I wanted. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, and I really appreciated the professionalism and warmth of Dr. Green and his team. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality care!
