Zusammenfassung:	The use of the CO2 laser in the treatment of two types of cancer, advanced ovarian carcinoma and tumors of the liver, has proven to be a useful form of adjunctive therapy. It has proven effective in vaporizing ovarian tumors ranging in size from 5 to 20 mm and liver tumors ranging in size from 1 to 4 cm. This modality is preferable to traditional excision‐and‐repair techniques, which are far more traumatic and may result in considerable loss of blood.
