“…Carbon dioxide lasers have been employed as a destructive treatment method for nongenital SCCIS, for example, on lesions on the fingers, where surgical excision may result in excess morbidity secondary to scarring. 88,89 It offers a bloodless field, good visu-alization, and less tissue injury than ED 1 C. The laser has been used successfully to treat genital lesions of SCCIS, with less morbidity than surgical excision, 90 but evidence for the efficacy of laser destruction on nongenital SCCIS is mixed and is limited by the small size of the available studies.…”

“…The response rates have ranged from 80% to 100% (the number of patients within the various studies has been small, generally <10, and thus the difference between 0% recurrence and 20% recurrence has been 1 patient, e.g.). 44,46,48–50,52,53 In these studies, side effects have been similar, with mild hypopigmentation, atrophic changes, or persistent erythema reported in the minority of patients treated. Postprocedural histopathologic confirmation of tumor clearance was not performed in any of these studies.…”

BACKGROUND Skin cancer remains the most prevalent type of cancer in the United States, and its burden on the health care system remains substantial. Standard treatments such as cryosurgery, electrodessication and curettage, topical and photodynamic therapies, and surgical excision including Mohs micrographic surgery are not without inherent morbidity, including risk of bleeding, infection, and scar. OBJECTIVE Lasers may be an alternative for treatment of nonmelanoma skin cancer, and this paper reviews this therapeutic option. METHODS A comprehensive search in the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, and PUBMED databases was performed to identify relevant literature investigating the role of laser therapy in the treatment of nonmelanoma skin cancer. RESULTS New literature regarding laser treatment of nonmelanoma skin cancer is emerging, demonstrating promising clinical outcomes. The greatest efficacy has been seen with vascular-selective and ablative lasers in the treatment of basal cell carcinomas. Some success has been reported for laser treatment of squamous cell carcinoma, but data are less convincing. In summary, laser therapy offers an alternative treatment option for nonmelanoma skin cancer; however, its clinical efficacy is variable and, at this time, remains less than currently accepted standards of care. CONCLUSION Further studies are needed to optimize parameters, determine maximum efficacy, and provide long-term follow-up.
