Abstract
The clinical treatment with the contact Nd: YAG laser surgery was carried out on 325 cases with head and neck tumors over 6 years. Since the contact laser surgery offers precise, controlled cutting and hemostasis, the surgeon is not troubled by bleeding from small vessels during the incision of skin, muscle and mucosal wall and while dissecting subcutaneous tissue. Moreover, we were applied to a laserthermia for 21 cancer in head and neck using a ceramic probe to insert into tumor tissue and irradiate the Nd: YAG laser omnidirectionally. Four cases showed complete and 23 cases showed partial remission after combined treatment of laserthermia and radiochemotherapy, especially in oropharynx cancer. Based on these results, we believe that therapeutic effect of laser treatment for advanced cancer in head and neck was increased by combination with radiotherapy or chemotherapy.
