Low-dose radiation therapy uses a small fraction of the dose used for cancer to quiet down inflammation, fibrosis, and abnormal tissue growth in conditions like Dupuytren's contracture, plantar fasciitis, and keloids. Quick summary5D Cancer Services offers low-dose radiation therapy for benign conditions in approximately 6 short outpatient sessions over 2–3 weeks. Common indications include Dupuytren's contracture, plantar fasciitis, keloid prevention/treatment, and heterotopic ossification prevention. - Typical course: ~6 sessions, each 10–15 minutes, over 2–3 weeks - Indications: Dupuytren's contracture, plantar fasciitis, keloids, heterotopic ossification - Dose per session is a small fraction of what's used for cancer - Painless, outpatient — no anesthesia, no recovery time - Most insurance plans (incl. Medicare) cover medically-indicated benign RT - May be paired with surgery (e.g. keloid excision + post-op RT, hip surgery + HO prevention)Last reviewed: 2026-05-12 ## How low-dose radiation works for benign conditions For non-cancerous conditions, the goal is not to kill cells but to calm overactive ones — fibroblasts, inflammatory cells, or bone-forming cells. Even small radiation doses are remarkably effective at this and have decades of clinical use behind them, especially in Europe. Treatment is delivered on the Akesis Gemini 360 with the same image guidance used for cancer treatment, just at a much lower dose per session. ## Conditions commonly treated - Dupuytren's contracture and Ledderhose disease (plantar fibromatosis) - Plantar fasciitis (when conservative therapy has failed) - Keloid prevention or treatment after surgical excision - Heterotopic ossification prophylaxis (e.g., after hip surgery) - Painful osteoarthritis in select joints (insurance-dependent) - Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) in select cases ## What a typical course looks like Most benign-condition courses are around 6 short sessions, scheduled 2–3 times per week over 2–3 weeks. Each appointment is roughly 10–15 minutes door-to-door; the radiation itself takes about a minute. There is no anesthesia, no recovery, and you can drive yourself home and return to normal activity immediately. ## Insurance and referrals Most major insurance plans (including Medicare) cover medically-indicated low-dose radiation therapy for benign conditions.
