研究概览
简要总结
To study the efficacy and safety of intravaginal CO2 laser versus intravaginal Er:YAG laser and sham application in alleviating genitourinary symptoms in patients receiving an aromatase inhibitor as adjuvant treatment of breast cancer
详细描述
The objective is to compare microablative fractional CO2 laser (CO2 laser) (SmartXide2 V2 LR, Monalisa Touch; DEKA, Florence, Italy) and non-ablative photothermal Erbium:YAG laser (Er:YAG laser) (Fotona Smooth™ XS; Fotona, Ljubljana, Slovenia) - with sham vaginal applications for treatment of vaginal dryness as the leading symptom in breast cancer patients with iatrogenic menopause and treated with an AI.
