Lasers can be used in many ways to treat different types of cancer. High-intensity lasers can shrink or destroy cancerous growths. Lasers are used most often to treat superficial cancers (cancers that occur on the skin or lining of internal organs), such as basal cell skin cancer, penile cancer, and the early stages of other cancers such as cervical and penile. Ordinary light has many wavelengths and can spread in all directions. Laser light on the other side has a particular wavelength and can be collimated in order to create a narrow beam with a very high intensity. Lasers are able to focus on small areas with great accuracy, making them ideal for precise surgery or cutting through tissue. Three types of lasers are used to treat cancer: carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers, argon lasers, and neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) lasers. Some symptoms of cancer, such as bleeding and obstruction, can also be treated with lasers. Lasers can shrink or remove tumors that block the windpipe or esophagus. Lasers can also be used to remove colon polyps and tumors that block the colon or stomach. Although laser therapy can be used by itself, it is often combined with other treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. Lasers can also seal nerve endings to decrease pain after surgery and seal lymph vessels to reduce swelling.
Lasers are much more precise than traditional surgical instruments (scalpels) and cause less tissue damage. Patients usually experience less pain, bleeding, and swelling. Laser therapy is often less invasive than traditional surgery. Laser therapy is often performed as an outpatient procedure. Patients heal faster after laser therapy and are less likely to develop infections. Laser therapy has its limitations. Laser therapy is only available to surgeons who have completed specialized training. They must also follow strict safety precautions. Laser therapy can be expensive and require heavy equipment. Laser therapy can have a short-term effect, so it is possible that a doctor will need to perform a second treatment to ensure the patient receives the full benefits. Some symptoms of cancer, such as bleeding and obstruction, can be treated with lasers. Lasers can shrink or remove tumors that block the patient's windpipe or esophagus. Lasers can also be used to treat colon polyps and tumors that block the stomach or colon. Laser therapy can be more costly than other treatments. Laser therapy requires special training for physicians. The equipment can be bulky. Although laser therapy can be used by itself, it is often combined with other treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. Lasers can also be used to seal nerve endings and lymph vessels to reduce swelling. Laser therapy can be dangerous, so it is important to follow all safety precautions. The effects may not last for long, so doctors may need to repeat the procedure.
