Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of electronic skin surface brachytherapy (ESSB) for early stage basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin using a new device. This new device is Nucletron's Esteya Electronic Skin Surface Brachytherapy System. The investigators want to understand what effects, good and/or bad this device for delivering brachytherapy has on your skin cancer. The investigators also want to assess the safety, cosmetic results, the effects that ESSB has on quality of life and to correlate skin imaging with clinical response to ESSB.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Electronic Skin Surface Brachytherapy

The patient will undergo quality of life assessment and skin imaging (ultrasonography and reflectance confocal microscopy). Brachytherapy will be performed over six outpatient visits over 2-3 weeks, on non-consecutive days. Patients will then be followed for 5 years. Reflectance confocal microscopy is optional for the participating sites.
