At KMC Dermatology in Topeka, we offer comprehensive medical and surgical skin care management. Our expertise extends to the treatment of various diseases affecting the skin, hair, and nails. This includes conditions such as skin cancer, warts, acne, moles, and rashes.
Advanced Skin Cancer Treatment: Image-Guided SRT
KMC Dermatology is at the forefront of skin cancer treatment, introducing Image-Guided SRT (Superficial Radiation Therapy), a novel therapy for the state of Kansas. This advanced, surgery-free treatment is particularly beneficial for patients who may not be ideal surgical candidates, such as those on blood thinners or with cancers located in areas of poor circulation.
Dr. Shekhar Challa highlighted the benefits of this therapy, stating, “There are a subset of patients who really can benefit from this. People that are on blood thinners, or cancers in areas of poor circulation, are the ideal patients to be treated.”
A Virtually Pain-Free Solution with High Cure Rates
This innovative therapy is recognized as one of the most advanced non-surgical treatments available for skin cancer. It boasts a reported cure rate of more than 99 percent and is described as "virtually pain-free" by Radiation Therapist Matt Ditch.
With an estimated 26,000 Kansans projected to be diagnosed with nonmelanoma skin cancer by 2025, the availability of such effective and minimally invasive treatments is crucial for the community.
Telehealth Services for Non-Essential Consultations
Recognizing the need for accessible care, KMC Dermatology also provides online consultations for skin, hair, and nail conditions that require attention but are not considered emergencies.
Community Involvement and Health Awareness
KMC Dermatology is committed to the health and safety of the Topeka community. While the 2020 Strollin' for the Colon 5K Run/Walk, originally scheduled for March 28, 2020, was postponed due to COVID-19 guidelines, KMC is working with partners to confirm a new date in the future.
