Abstract

The continuous wave CO2 laser lacks a number of draw-backs of the pulsed Ruby laser, and seems attractive for tumor surgery. We compared the CO2 laser with conventional surgery in experiments on mice bearing the Cloudman S91 melanoma. We had the same rate of local recurrence and lung metastasis in both techniques.
