Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS)

Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS)?

Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a persistent skin condition marked by painful and inflamed lesions, typically occurring in areas where skin friction occurs, like the armpits, groin, and buttocks. It can lead to abscesses, nodules, and subdermal tunnels.

When conventional treatments, such as antibiotics and anti- inflammatory medication’s prove ineffective in managing HS, radiation therapy, emerges as a compelling and increasingly viable option. This therapeutic approach employs targeted radiation to alleviate inflammation and control the formation of nodules and abscesses characteristic of HS. When standard treatments are exhausted, radiation therapy gains prominence as a valuable alternative. Ongoing research seeks to establish its long term efficacy, emphasizing its importance in cases where traditional treatments do not yield satisfactory results.

Collaborating with Phoenix Cyberknife’s Radiation Oncologists, ensures individuals with HS they can explore the potential benefits of radiation therapy, making it a considered and valuable component in their personalized treatment strategy.
