As a specialist skin cancer GP, dermatologist or oncologist you can treat your patient using Rhenium-SCT® at Sydney Brachytherapy Group with the medical assistance of our onsite nuclear technician.

The follow-up treatment and ongoing care stays with the referring medical specialist.

No user licence or facility licence is needed as Sydney Brachytherapy Group is a licenced and accredited nuclear medicine medical facility with a Radiation Management Licence issued by the Environmental Protection Agency, Australia.

You will need to work with the OncoBeta team to organise your licence to become a Rhenium-SCT® provider so you can conduct the treatment as the treating physician and Visiting Medical Officer, but in the meantime, you can use SBG’s facility and onsite nuclear physician to perform Rhenium-SCT® under its licence and accreditation.

SBG can film the treatment so as the treating physician/Visiting Medical Officer you can be present and view the treatment online and in real time.

In most cases, treatment with Rhenium-SCT® only requires one quick, personalised treatment. It is especially beneficial for older, infirm people with comorbidities and people with low pain thresholds and is particularly good for difficult locations where a conventional surgical approach or skin grafting would be problematic, such as noses or ears.

Rhenium-SCT® should not be used on women of child-bearing age who are pregnant or planning to be pregnant. Patients must be over 18 for treatment.
