"I am pleased to accept the medical directorship with Sensus Healthcare and lead its Medical Advisory Board. I am a firm believer in providing patients with all available treatment options, thus delivering the most optimal therapy for every patient. It is the duty of a physician to discuss and design a treatment plan with their patient, which takes into account not only the disease but the physical health and well-being of the patient. In the case of basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma, as patients age and have one or more medical problems or are frail, non-surgical alternatives need to be explored. Photon RT is a therapeutic alternative to surgery or electron beam in elderly patients with certain tumor subtypes and locations. This is a time-honored, non-surgical modality which can be highly efficacious in select skin cancers yet still be extremely cost effective when compared to surgery or electron beam therapy. I am very optimistic in what the future holds in developing this technology to its fullest potential and the possibilities for our clinical community and patients." –Dr. Armand Cognetta (Medical Director, Sensus Healthcare)

"We are very excited to have the opportunity to collaborate with such a distinguished panel of experienced clinical experts on the subject of skin cancer treatment. We have a common objective; to provide patients and their physicians the choices that produce proven outcomes." –Joseph C. Sardano (President & CEO, Sensus Healthcare)
