2. Lasers in cancer treatment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lasers_in_Cancer_Treatment

   Lasers are used to treat cancer in several different ways. Their high-intensity light can be used to shrink or destroy tumors or precancerous growths. Lasers are most commonly used to treat superficial cancers (cancers on the surface of the body or the lining of internal organs) such as basal-cell skin cancer and the very early stages of some cancers, such as cervical, penile, vaginal, vulvar ...

3. Excimer laser - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excimer_laser

   An excimer laser, sometimes more correctly called an exciplex laser, is a form of ultraviolet laser which is commonly used in the production of microelectronic devices, semiconductor based integrated circuits or "chips", eye surgery, and micromachining.

   Visual laser ablation of the prostate (VLAP) technique involving the Nd:YAG laser with contact on the prostatic tissue. Photoselective Vaporisation of the Prostate (PVP). A laser is used to melt away (vaporize) excess prostate tissue and enlarge the urinary channel. [7] A high-power 180-watt 532 nm wavelength laser with a 650-micrometre laser ...

5. Laser ablation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_ablation

   Laser ablation or photoablation (also called laser blasting [1] [2] [3]) is the process of removing material from a solid (or occasionally liquid) surface by irradiating it with a laser beam. At low laser flux, the material is heated by the absorbed laser energy and evaporates or sublimates .

6. Prostatectomy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostatectomy

   By laser prostatectomy (HoLEP - Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate), a laser is used to cut and remove the excess prostate tissue that is blocking the urethra. Another instrument is then used to cut the prostate tissue into small pieces that are easily removed. HoLEP can be an option for men who have a severely enlarged prostate. [3]

7. Krypton fluoride laser - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krypton_fluoride_laser

   A krypton fluoride laser (KrF laser) is a particular type of excimer laser, [1] which is sometimes (more correctly) called an exciplex laser. With its 248 nanometer wavelength, it is a deep ultraviolet laser which is commonly used in the production of semiconductor integrated circuits , industrial micromachining, and scientific research.
