Laser Treatment for Vaginal Cancer

Vaginal cancer happens when cancerous cells grow in the vagina. Many kinds of cancer can spread to the vagina from somewhere else, but cancer that starts here is rare. There are about 6,000 new cases in the U.S. each year.

Some cases of vaginal cancer don’t have a clear cause. But most are linked to infection with the human papillomavirus, HPV. This is the most common sexually transmitted disease (STD). An HPV infection most often goes away on its own, but if it lingers, it can lead to cervical and vaginal cancer.

Vaginal cancer often doesn’t cause symptoms. Your doctor might find it during a routine exam or Pap test.

If you have symptoms, they can include:

• Unusual bleeding from your vagina

• Watery or bad-smelling discharge from your vagina

• Pain in pelvis

• Pain when having sex

• Pain when peeing

• Peeing more than usual

• Constipation

• A lump in your vagina

If you notice any of these things, it doesn’t mean you have vaginal cancer. You could just have an infection. But it’s important to get it checked out.

Patients and their doctors will decide on treatment based on many things, including how close the cancer is to other organs, its stage, whether the patient had radiation treatment in the pelvic area, and whether she had a hysterectomy to remove her uterus.

When it comes to treatment, Radiation therapy has been a growing favourite among many patients. This treatment uses high-powered X-rays or other forms of radiation to kill cancer. The doctor might use a machine that sends X-rays into the body, or he could insert a radioactive substance inside the case’s body, on or near cancer.

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 presents itself as one of the most recommended devices among surgeons viewing its high efficacy in treating such types of cancer.

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 vaginal 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 a 980 nm wavelength and 15W as maximum power, the device is thought to perfectly address the vaginal cancer 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.

Vaginal cancer can be deadly. Unfortunately, it is one of the most common cancer types women are vulnerable to. However, when diagnosed and treated in the early stages the prognosis is generally good. 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 life-threatening issue of vaginal cancer.
