Laser Treatment for Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin is a kind of skin cancer that originates in the squamous cells that comprise the skin’s middle and outer layers.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin develops when the flat, thin squamous cells in the inner and outer layers of your skin get alterations (mutations) in their DNA.

The majority of DNA mutations in skin cells are generated by ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which may be found in sunshine as well as commercial tanning lamps and tanning beds.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin most often occurs on sun-exposed skin, such as your scalp, the backs of your hands, your ears or your lips. But it can occur anywhere on your body, including inside your mouth, the bottoms of your feet and on your genitals.

Signs and symptoms of squamous cell carcinoma of the skin include:

·         A firm, red nodule

·         A flat sore with a scaly crust

·         A new sore or raised area on an old scar or ulcer

·         A rough, scaly patch on your lip that may evolve into an open sore

·         A red sore or rough patch inside your mouth

·         A red, raised patch or wart-like sore on or in the anus or on your genitals

Several treatments are being employed to address this issue, laser treatment, in particular, has been advanced as one of the best.

This therapy is frequently used for tiny or very superficial squamous cell tumors of the skin. Laser treatment An powerful beam of light vaporizes growths, generally with little injury to surrounding tissue and with a lower risk of bleeding, edema, and scarring.

However, it is crucial to note that the right and highly professional execution of such a work demands the use of a proper and highly professional laser machine.

In this line, the FDA LASER-1.2A Portable Surgery 810nm Diode Laser System is one of the most recommended equipment among surgeons due to its great efficacy in treating skin malignancies in particular.

To explain in more detail, this device’s blue laser light interacts better with the tissue components haemoglobin or melanin. At 980 nm (the high-level laser radiation needed), the machine performs better and gentler cutting, even at lower power.

Accordingly, its improved cutting performance makes it ideally suited to all surgical applications, particularly for skin cancer.

What also makes the LASER-1.2A highly appreciated and recommended by surgeons is that it displays an accurate alignment and exact sighting during the treatment. All thanks to its green aiming beam.

To further improve the treatment, the device is supported with a fibre guide laser. So, it is compatible with various endoscopic uses. Also, these special fibres are sterilisable which, in turn, prevents any possible cross-infection while guaranteeing a clean and bloodless operative area.

With 980 nm wavelength and 15W as maximum power, the device is thought to perfectly address the Squamous Cell Carcinoma issue. That is highly attributed to the fact that the LASER-1.2 A uses infrared wavelengths and ultra-blue light to ensure high-level performance.

That is also estimated to reduce thermal damage and its peculiar interaction with haemoglobin.

Due to all these features, the LASER-1.2 A guarantees increased cutting effectiveness, much higher than the one obtained with infrared lasers.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin is seldom fatal, but it can be aggressive. Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, if left untreated, can become big and spread to other regions of your body, causing major consequences.

Fortunately, laser treatment has lately proven to be effective enough in terms of early diagnosis and treatment of this condition, especially because it has proven to be a beneficial adjunct to cancer surgery in particular.

On this premise, we endeavored to discuss the advantages of laser treatment, specifically the efficacy of LASER-1.2 A as a surgical laser device capable of treating Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
