  • Title: [Laser in gynecology. Palliative laser treatment in genital and breast cancers].
    Author: Wallwiener D, Rimbach S, Schmid H, Sohn C, Depierreux A, Diel I, Kaufmann M, Bastert G.
    Journal: Rev Fr Gynecol Obstet; 1995; 90(7-9):329-34. PubMed ID: 7481436.
    Abstract:
    Local, so-called incurable, recurrences of breast or genital cancers were as therapeutic challenge in the past. The authors undertook a pilot trial of laser treatment in 45 patients, as a palliative measure, in view of the serious psychological and physical problems experienced by these women constantly confronted by the presence of painful, visible and often ulcerated tumor lesions. CO2 and Nd:YAG lasers were used for tumor vaporisation and coagulation, the combined use of these two wavelengths providing the new study concept which emerged from this pilot trial.
