# Penile Cancer and Laser Therapy - Link: https://sifsof.com/clinical-apps/penile-cancer-and-laser-therapy/ - Published: 2022-03-30T11:35:10+00:00 - Author: Monica Penile cancer, or cancer of the penis, is when cells grow out of control on or in a man’s penis. It often starts in skin cells and can work its way inside. It’s rare. But it can be treated, especially if it’s found early on. Experts don’t know exactly what causes penile cancer. Research shows that it’s more common in men who: * Have the human papillomavirus (HPV) * Are over age 60 * Smoke * Have a weakened immune system because of HIV or AIDS * Aren’t circumcised. Fluids and a thick buildup called smegma can collect under your foreskin and might make cancer growth more likely. * Have a condition called phimosis, which makes your foreskin tight and tough to clean. It can also lead to fluid buildup. * Had psoriasis treatment with the drug psoralen and ultraviolet (UV) light * Changes in penis skin are the most common symptom of penile cancer. They can show up on the foreskin of uncircumcised men, on the penis tip (the glans), or on the shaft. Although the below signs and symptoms are not exclusive to penile cancer, this dangerous disease may include some or all of them: * Changes in skin thickness or color * A rash or small crusty bumps on your penis; can look like an unhealed scab. * Growths that look bluish-brown * A lump on your penis * A bad-smelling discharge underneath your foreskin * A sore on your penis, which may bleed * Swelling at the end of your penis * Lumps under the skin of your groin Concerning treatment, nowadays doctors and patients have plenty of options to go through. Laser therapy is on top of that list as it proved to be highly effective in this specific area. Lasers are employed to cut and destroy areas that contain cancer. Still, it is important to note that the perfect execution of such a sensitive excision task requires by no means 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 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 Penile 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 cervical cancer issues. 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 the 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. Penile cancer can be deadly, but it is rare cancer, and when diagnosed and treated in its 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 penile cancer.
