Abstract:Background Laser excision is used routinely in the treatment of
sarcoids but may be ineffective in cases where complete excision cannot

improve the lethal effect of cryotherapy as an adjunct to laser
excision. Objectives To compare two treatment protocols for

laser excision, cryotherapy, and 5-FU chemotherapy. Factors associated
with sarcoid recurrence are also investi… Show more
