Treatment Solutions

Our Xstrahl therapy range comprises 4 systems that span low energy units for superficial treatments of clinical conditions through to higher energy units for orthovoltage treatments.

Xstrahl 100	Low energy option, superficial and Grenz Ray therapy system.
Xstrahl 150	Superficial therapy system, higher energy range and larger depth dose than the Xstrahl 100.
Xstrahl 200	Superficial and orthovoltage system, treats the same superficial conditions as the Xstrahl 100 and 200 and provides palliative treatments.
Xstrahl 300	The most powerful system in the Xstrahl range, this system is ideally suited for orthovoltage techniques.

Basal Cell Carcinoma

Basal Cell Carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer. The tumours typically occur in exposed areas; mostly the face and head. The cancers rarely metastasize and therefore fatalities are exceptionally uncommon. Multiple primary tumours often occur and may be large in size, causing discomfort and disfigurement.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma

The incidence of Squamous Cell Carcinomas is lower than that of Basal Cell Carcinomas, but it is the more aggressive variety, with a higher mortality rate. Like Basal Cell Carcinomas, the cause is often associated with sun exposure, although in the case of Squamous Cell Carcinomas, cancer is more likely to metastasize.

Keloid

Keloid scarring often forms at the site of skin injuries, and typically is shiny and dark pink or brown in appearance. Radiotherapy is an effective form of treatment; particularly if executed soon after formation of the scar.

Dermatological Conditions

Benign skin conditions that include inflammatory disorders, degenerative disorders and hypertrophic disorders.

Mycosis Fungoides

Mycosis Fungoides is a class of cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma affecting the skin. Small, localised, superficial lesions can be successfully treated with low energy X-ray therapy to provide effective palliation of symptoms.

Palliative Care

Xstrahl systems can be used as a source of palliative care, to improve the quality of life of patients. X-ray therapy is used to treat painful boney metastases.

Benign Conditions

Radiotherapy is sometimes used to treat benign conditions. Superficial X-ray therapy can provide symptomatic control in such benign conditions as Dupytrens Contracture and for many benign tumours of skin and other soft tissues.

Clinical Support: STEP Program

The Superficial Therapy Educational Program (STEP) provides extensive information on the use of low energy X-Rays (superficial and orthovoltage) for the treatment of both benign and malignant conditions.

The program continues to increase awareness of this essential treatment modality to oncology and dermatology professionals. STEP has been distributed to all UK radiotherapy centres and provides a comprehensive clinical resource that is proving to be invaluable for training radiographers, particularly in facilities that do not currently have superficial X-Ray systems.

The STEP program was developed by the STEP advisory panel, a team of clinical and academic Radiotherapy and Oncology experts, in collaboration with Xstrahl.

Topics

The STEP program covers six key topics:

The history and development of low energy X-Ray therapy
The physics of low energy X-Rays
Malignant and benign conditions treated with superficial and orthovoltage therapy
Common UK prescription schedules
The treatment procedure, set up's and accessories
Patient care; during and after treatment

In addition the program houses a resource section, which includes current guidelines on the management of malignant and benign conditions.
