Three patients with locally recurrent rectal cancer were treated using the Neodymium YAG laser to palliate the symptoms of tenesmus, discharge and bleeding. All were considered unfit for further surgical excision. The local tumour was completely removed following repeated laser therapy over a period of 4, 6 and 11 months, respectively. These patients remain well without evidence of local or systemic disease 26, 33 and 42 months after laser treatment. Laser therapy for palliation of local disease may be rewarded by prolonged local control and possible cure.
三名局部复发性直肠癌患者接受了钕钇铝石榴石激光治疗，以缓解里急后重、分泌物和出血症状。所有患者均被认为不适合进一步手术切除。分别经过4个月、6个月和11个月的反复激光治疗后，局部肿瘤被完全切除。激光治疗后26个月、33个月和42个月，这些患者情况良好，无局部或全身疾病迹象。激光治疗局部疾病以缓解症状，可能会带来长期的局部控制并有可能治愈。
