Abstrakt: & Gilger, B.C. (2012) Carbon dioxide laser photoablation adjunctive therapy following superficial lamellar keratectomy and bulbar conjunctivectomy for the treatment of corneolimbal squamous cell carcinoma in horses: A review of 24 cases. Studies cannot be directly compared based on the use of different outcome measures and follow-up times, though outcomes for use of strontium-90, mitomycin C, or carbon dioxide laser treatment as the adjunctive therapy seem to be similar. The case report 'Topical 5-fluorouracil as an adjunct treatment in equine corneolimbal squamous cell carcinoma' by Offer et al. (2022) highlights several important factors to consider in the management of ocular surface squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in horses. A case report describes use of this modality for the treatment of OSSN in a man (Çekiç et al., 2011), so a future application of this technique may be for the treatment of ocular surface SCC in horses.
