Ultraviolet B (UVB) Phototherapy at the Jack & Sheryl Morris Cancer Center and Rutgers Cancer Institute offers an advanced, targeted treatment option for skin rashes and inflammation that can develop during certain cancer therapies. It is also used in the care of Cutaneous T‑cell Lymphoma and Graft‑versus‑Host Disease following bone marrow transplant.
What UVB Phototherapy Does
UVB phototherapy delivers carefully controlled doses of ultraviolet light to the skin to support healing, reduce inflammation, and ease uncomfortable symptoms. Treatment duration varies based on your condition, how your skin responds, and your overall treatment plan.
- UVB therapy takes place in a walk‑in phototherapy cabinet, a small, enclosed unit lined with specialized UVB light tubes.
- The machine is operated by specially trained staff who remain with you throughout the session to ensure safety and comfort.
- Our onco‑dermatologists create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your diagnosis and skin needs.
