A research result has come out that gives hope to people who are suffering from cancer in general, who are very afraid and deeply depressed. Researchers have discovered that people with skin diseases can be cured with a simple laser treatment. Non-melanoma cancer can be cured with a simple laser treatment, US doctors have said in a study.
According to this new research, non-melanoma cancers can be prevented by giving direct laser treatments to the skin. Basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are collectively known as keratinocyte carcinoma. These are the most common types of cancer identified in the United States.
Simple laser treatments for the skin can help prevent the growth of basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, new research suggests. A team of researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital, a founding member of Mass General Brigham, conducted the study. The study, published in the journal Dermatologic Surgery, reveals an easy-to-practice strategy for protecting skin health in individuals.
Among them, Nonablative fractional lass (NAFL) provides partial heat. It remains completely intact after treatment (unlike ablative fractional lasers, which remove the top layer of skin). They are also currently used to treat scars, sun-damaged skin, and age spots. However, their effectiveness in preventing skin damage is unknown.

Matthew Avram, MD, JD, director of the Mass General Dermatology Laser & Cosmetic Center, and his team studied patients who had been successfully treated for facial keratinocyte carcinoma in the past. They found that such patients had a 35% risk of developing subsequent keratinocyte carcinoma within 3 years and a 50% risk within 5 years.
In the study, 43 patients received NAFL treatment. 52 did not receive NAFL treatment. During a median follow-up of more than 6 years, the rate of development of facial keratinocyte carcinoma was 20.9% in NAFL-treated patients. Cancer was controlled in 40.4% of those treated. This means that patients treated with NAFL have half the risk.
When controlling for age, sex, and skin type, control patients were 2.65 times more likely to develop a new facial keratinocyte carcinoma than NAFL-treated patients. Also, among patients who developed facial keratinocyte carcinoma, time to progression was significantly longer in patients treated with NAFL compared with untreated patients.
“These findings suggest that NAFL therapy may have an important role in protecting against subsequent keratinocyte carcinomas,” says Avram. “While the mechanism of the protective effect of NAFL is not fully understood, treatment with NAFL confers a selective advantage to healthy skin cells.”
Avram noted that further studies are needed to critically assess the role of NAFL in skin cancer prevention, reveal the duration of its protective effects, and determine optimal treatment parameters. “Based on this research, if patients are at risk or notice abnormalities, non-laser treatments are encouraged to help prevent skin cancer,” says Avram.
