In vitro study examining the effect of sub‐lethal QS 755 nm lasers on the expression of p16INK4a on melanoma cell lines
29 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Q-switched lasers had been used in the treatment of lentigo maligna but their role remains controversial. While previous studies have addressed the change in adhesion molecule expression after sub-lethal laser damage, no study has addressed the impact of sub-lethal laser damage at a molecular level. The p16 gene has been proposed as the candidate gene for melanoma. Our objective is to...
