# Laser Treatment for Squamous Cell Carcinoma - Link: https://sifsof.com/clinical-apps/laser-treatment-for-squamous-cell-carcinoma/ - Published: 2022-03-30T12:53:35+00:00 - Author: Monica Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin is a common form of skin cancer that develops in the squamous cells that make up the middle and outer layers of the skin. Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin occurs when the flat, thin squamous cells in the middle and outer layers of your skin develop changes (mutations) in their DNA. Most of the DNA mutations in skin cells are caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation found in sunlight and in commercial tanning lamps and tanning beds. Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin most often occurs on sun-exposed skin, such as your scalp, the backs of your hands, your ears or your lips. But it can occur anywhere on your body, including inside your mouth, the bottoms of your feet and on your genitals. Signs and symptoms of squamous cell carcinoma of the skin include: ·         A firm, red nodule ·         A flat sore with a scaly crust ·         A new sore or raised area on an old scar or ulcer ·         A rough, scaly patch on your lip that may evolve into an open sore ·         A red sore or rough patch inside your mouth ·         A red, raised patch or wart-like sore on or in the anus or on your genitals Several treatments are being employed to address this issue, laser treatment, in particular, has been advanced as one of the best. This treatment is often used for small or very superficial squamous cell cancers of the skin. Laser therapy. An intense beam of light vaporizes growths, usually with little damage to surrounding tissue and with a reduced risk of bleeding, swelling and scarring. Still, it is important to note that the perfect execution of such a task necessitates a proper and highly professional laser machine. In this vein, the [Portable Surgery Laser System FDA SIFLASER-1.2A](https://sifsof.com/product/810-nm-portable-surgery-laser-system-fda-siflaser-1-2a/) presents itself as one of the most recommended devices among surgeons viewing its high efficacy in treating skin cancers in particular. To explain in more detail, this device’s blue laser light interacts better with the tissue components haemoglobin or melanin. At 980 nm (the high-level laser radiation needed), the machine performs better and gentler cutting, even at lower power. Accordingly, its improved cutting performance makes it ideally suited to all surgical applications, particularly for skin cancer. What also makes the SIFLASER-1.2A highly appreciated and recommended by surgeons is that it displays an accurate alignment and exact sighting during the treatment. All thanks to its green aiming beam. To further improve the treatment, the device is supported with a fibre guide laser. So, it is compatible with various endoscopic uses. Also, these special fibres are sterilisable which, in turn, prevents any possible cross-infection while guaranteeing a clean and bloodless operative area. With 980 nm wavelength and 15W as maximum power, the device is thought to perfectly address the Squamous Cell Carcinoma issue. That is highly attributed to the fact that the SIFLASER-1.2 A uses infrared wavelengths and ultra-blue light to ensure high-level performance. That is also estimated to reduce thermal damage and its peculiar interaction with haemoglobin. Due to all these features, the SIFLASER-1.2 A guarantees increased cutting effectiveness, much higher than the one obtained with infrared lasers. Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin is usually not life-threatening, though it can be aggressive. Untreated, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin can grow large or spread to other parts of your body, causing serious complications.  Fortunately, laser treatment has recently proved to be effective enough in terms of early diagnosing and treating this issue, especially since it proved to be a successful addition to cancer surgery in particular. On this basis, we attempted to discuss the benefits of laser therapy and precisely the efficacy of SIFLASER-1.2 A as a surgical laser device capable of efficiently treating the Squamous Cell Carcinoma issue.
