BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 23, 2025--
Sensus Healthcare, Inc. (Nasdaq: SRTS), a medical device company specializing in highly effective, non-invasive, minimally-invasive and cost-effective treatments for oncological and non-oncological skin conditions, announces that a study published in Dermatologic Therapy demonstrates the safety and efficacy of the Company’s superficial radiotherapy (SRT) technology combined with punch excision to treat keloids.
The article, titled “ Efficacy of Punch Excision Combined With Superficial X-Ray for the Treatment of Keloids: A Single-Center Retrospective Study,” evaluates 60 patients treated with a combination of punch excision and superficial X-ray therapy at the Hospital for Skin Diseases in Nanjing, China. The punch excision better enables SRT penetration to induce fibroblast apoptosis, yielding a synergistic therapeutic effect. Results showed a statistically significant improvement in patient outcomes, with notable reductions in pain, itching, thickness and irregularity of keloid scars after one year of follow-up. No severe adverse reactions were reported, reinforcing the safety profile of SRT.
“This study by Junyou Zheng and colleagues is one of very few to examine punch excision combined with SRT, and it supports existing literature showing the benefits of our SRT technology in preventing keloid recurrence following surgical excision. The psychological impact of keloids is not to be underestimated, and this study underscores keloids as a serious medical condition that warrants access to treatment, including combination therapy with SRT,” said Joe Sardano, Chairman and CEO of Sensus Healthcare. “Superficial radiotherapy has a long-standing record of safety, efficacy and patient satisfaction, and we believe studies such as this one will play an important role in shaping payer and policymaker understanding of the significant physical and emotional burden keloids place on patients.”
“This study extends the safe and effective use of superficial radiation beyond post complete surgical keloid excision to following punch excision keloid debulking, allowing for treatment of multiple and extensive keloids. This technique was found to be highly statistically significantly effective, by both investigator (VSS) and patient (POSAS) validated scoring scales,” commented Brian Berman, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Dermatology at The University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and member of the Board of Directors of the American Academy of Dermatology.
Keloids are benign skin tumors that develop due to an abnormal overgrowth of scar tissue, and can cause significant pain, itching and emotional distress. Traditional treatment options, including corticosteroid injections, cryotherapy and laser therapy, often yield inconsistent results and are associated with high rates of recurrence. While often misunderstood as a cosmetic concern, keloids represent a serious medical condition with a population prevalence of 4% to 16%. They occur most frequently among individuals with higher levels of melanin, including people of African descent, as well as Hispanic and Asian populations.
