Radiation: Diffusing Alpha Radiation Emitters Therapy (DaRT): An intratumoral insertion of a seed(s), loaded with Radium-224, securely fixed in the seeds. The seeds release by recoil into the tumor short-lived alpha-emitting atoms.

Exclusion Criteria:
* Subject has a tumor of Keratoacanthoma histology.
* Patients with significant comorbidities that the treating physician deems may conflict with the endpoints of the study (e.g., poorly controlled autoimmune diseases, vasculitis, etc.)
* Patients undergoing systemic immunosuppressive therapy excepting intermittent, brief use of systemic corticosteroids
* Volunteers participating in another interventional study in the past 30 days which might conflict with the endpoints of this study or the evaluation of response or toxicity of DaRT.
* High probability of protocol non-compliance (in opinion of investigator).
* Subjects not willing to sign an informed consent.
* Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Primary outcome measure(s)
Tumor response to DaRT — 9-11 weeks after DaRT seed insertion. Assessment of the rate of malignant cutaneous, mucosal or superficial soft tissue tumors response using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) (Version 1.1)
Adverse Events — Time Frame: 9-11 weeks post DaRT insertion. The incidence, frequency, severity and causality of acute adverse events related to the DaRT treatment
