Recent research shows that patients with basal or squamous-cell skin cancers who had previously received nonablative fractional treatment for the condition saw their chance of recurrence drop by half. Dr. Mathew Avram, director of Massachusetts’ Dermatology Laser and Cosmetic Center, stated that the risk of recurrence was significantly reduced for patients who had previously been diagnosed with basal or squamous cell skin cancers. Mathew Avram, the director of Massachusetts’ Dermatology Laser and Cosmetic Center, stated that it is not known what caused this positive result. Mathew Avram also stated that it was important to return to the labs to determine why this result occurred. There are many theories about whether such treatment alters the immune systems or causes skin changes.
Dr. Matthew also highlighted the fact that fractional lasers are typically only used to treat a small portion of the skin and leave the rest untreated. This is despite the fact that there are significant skin benefits to such treatments. There are many types of skin cancer, but basal and squamous are the most common. These types of cancers can be treated if caught early enough.
What happens when someone does cosmetic laser treatment for skin cancer?
research fund that patients with a history of basal or squamous cells cancers had a 35% chance of having a recurrence within the first three years, and a 50% chance within five years. 42 of these patients received laser treatment, and 52 didn’t.
Patients who had received laser treatment have 21% new cell cancers. This is despite having been followed up for more than six years. However, 40% of patients who were not treated developed new cells cancers. Dr. Avram disagreed with these findings and recommended that patients with cell cancers undergo cosmetic laser treatment. Although he did not recommend cosmetic laser treatment, he noted that it has many benefits. The most important being the lower incidence of cancer cells.
Squamous cell carcinoma, also known as “Squamous Carcinoma”, is a form of skin cancer that occurs in the skin’s skin’s squamous. These cells make up the middle layer and outer layers of skin. Although skin cancer can be very aggressive, this form of cell cancer isn’t considered life-threatening. Basal cell carcinoma, a form of skin cancer, is also found in basal cells. It often appears as a bump on the skin but can take many forms.
The study concluded that cosmetic laser treatments can reduce the risk of skin cancers.
