Experience with carbon dioxide laser ablation was reviewed to determine the initial efficacy, time to recurrence, number of treatments required and length of palliation achieved.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n Using a departmental database and case notes, a review was carried out of all patients undergoing laser ablation in the authors' unit between September 1992 August 2002.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Forty-two patients received 105 (mean 2\u00b75) treatments. The median time to recurrence was 5\u00b72 (range 1\u00b72\u201372\u00b70) months. Twenty-three patients were still alive, with a median time from first laser ablation of 5\u00b74 (range 0\u00b75\u201310\u00b70) years. Nineteen patients had died, a median of 0\u00b78 (range 0\u00b71\u20135\u00b73) years after the first ablation. Ten of the 23 patients were disease-free for more than 1 year. No limbs were amputated because of failure to control disease.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n Laser ablation is a practical and useful method of palliating recurrent cutaneous malignant melanoma.<\/jats:p>\n
