Abstract

The use of lasers in the diagnosis and treatment of lung neoplasms has just surpassed a 20-year experience. This paper reviews recent developments in the use of lasers in the palliative treatment of advanced tracheobronchial tumors and pleural mesothelioma. The role of bronchoscopic laser therapy relative to other endobronchial treatment modalities such as stent placement and brachytherapy is presented. Finally, the potential use of lasers in photodetection and curative treatment of early lung cancer is discussed.

摘要

激光在肺癌诊断和治疗中的应用刚刚超过20年经验。本文综述了激光在晚期气管支气管肿瘤和胸膜间皮瘤姑息治疗中的最新进展。介绍了支气管镜激光治疗相对于其他支气管内治疗方式（如支架置入和近距离放射治疗）的作用。最后，讨论了激光在早期肺癌光检测和根治性治疗中的潜在应用。
