Interstitial Laser Thermotherapy of Liver Tumours. Methodology and Application
(2004)- Abstract
- Interstitial laser thermotherapy (ILT) is a method well suited for selective local destruction of malignant tumours. In the present work, a laser thermotherapy system based on feedback temperature control of energy delivery (through computerised feedback system) was developed. Temperature control was excellent in experiments without carbonization and with preserved light penetration, whereas temperature oscillations were in experiments with carbonization and impaired light penetration. Using bare fibre, carbonization was seen in almost all experiments in vitro, regardless of output power (1-4 W) but only occasionally in vivo using 2 W. Treatment with a sapphire prob, representing a diffuser tip, gave carbonization at higher output powers... (More)

Värmebehandling (termoterapi) av tumör baseras på kunskap om den celldödande effekten av värme. Den har begränsats av svårigheten att kontrollera temperaturutbredningen så att en selektiv och tillräcklig effekt erhålls, och detta gäller särskilt djupt belägna tumörer. Interstitiell laser termoterapi (ILT) med Nd:YAG laser är en ny behandlingsform som ger de tekniska förutsättningarna för selektiv värmebehandling. Ljuset från en sådan laser kan ledas i böjliga kvartsfibrer direkt till vävnaden och ger god vävnadspenetration. Avsikten med ILT är att ge kontrollerad värmebehandling så att man får koagulering av vävnaden men inte karbonisering (förkolning) vilket ger dålig ljuspenetration. För...

Avsikten med ILT är att ge kontrollerad värmebehandling så att man får koagulering av vävnaden men inte karbonisering (förkolning) vilket ger dålig ljuspenetration. För kurativt syftande behandling är hypotesen att resultatet kan bli bättre än sedvanlig kirurgisk behandling genom att behandlingstraumat minskar och genom att specifika eller ospecifika immunologiska mekanismer aktiveras.
