This article has discussed selected applications of laser therapies in otolaryngology. Lasers are the treatment of choice for PWS lesions, but new advances are needed to achieve complete blanching in the majority of cases. Noninvasive in vivo imaging and laser therapy coupled with PDT are two areas showing promise to improve outcome. PDT has the potential to offer new, cost-effective treatment options, and possibly cure, to cancer patients who are not candidates for traditional surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy.
本文讨论了激光疗法在耳鼻喉科的部分应用。激光是治疗葡萄酒色斑（PWS）病变的首选方法，但在大多数情况下仍需要新的进展来实现完全褪色。非侵入性体内成像以及激光疗法与光动力疗法（PDT）相结合是两个有望改善治疗效果的领域。光动力疗法有可能为那些不适合传统手术、化疗和放疗的癌症患者提供新的、具有成本效益的治疗选择，甚至可能治愈。
