[00:00:02] So, skin cancer year after year, it's

[00:00:04] the most diagnosed form of cancer.

[00:00:07] Doctors are expecting new cases to go up

[00:00:10] dramatically this year, too. Coming up

[00:00:12] right after the break, we're going to

[00:00:13] tell you about a non-invasive treatment.

[00:00:16] It has no downtime, no cutting, and it

[00:00:19] has a 95% cure rate. That story is

[00:00:23] coming up next. It's 6:22. Good morning.

[00:00:27] Welcome back, everybody. So, more people

[00:00:29] have skin cancer than any other cancer,

[00:00:32] which is scary, and the numbers just

[00:00:33] keep going up.

[00:00:35] Especially in our state, cuz we just get

[00:00:36] so much sun. In fact, experts say more

[00:00:38] than 3 and 1/2 million cases are

[00:00:40] diagnosed every year. And experts say a

[00:00:43] lot of the increase that they're seeing

[00:00:44] is coming from the baby boomer

[00:00:46] population. There though is some new

[00:00:48] technology out there that's going to

[00:00:50] help patients treat that cancer. We're

[00:00:53] talking about non-melanoma cancer

[00:00:55] without surgery. It's called superficial

[00:00:57] radiation therapy, and it's a great

[00:00:59] alternative to surgery. You have no

[00:01:02] cutting and no downtime.

[00:01:05] It is a wonderful alternative. Um it is

[00:01:07] quick. It is safe.

[00:01:10] It is painless, and it is proven

[00:01:13] effective.

[00:01:15] So, this delivers x-ray energy directly

[00:01:18] and precisely to the cancer uh without

[00:01:21] affecting any of the nearby tissue. And

[00:01:22] it's really good for areas that would

[00:01:24] otherwise be hard to treat or that would

[00:01:26] leave a big scar. Like he's having it

[00:01:28] done on his scalp or maybe on your nose.

[00:01:30] Uh the best part, this technique has a

[00:01:32] 95%

[00:01:35] cure rate. But, still be sure you're

[00:01:37] using sunscreen.

[00:01:38] that is great though, the technology.

[00:01:40] Nice option.
