What is Laser Therapy?
The term LASER stands for "Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation."
Laser light is concentrated so that it makes a very powerful and precise tool. Laser therapy uses light to treat cancer cells.
Consider the following additional information regarding laser therapy:
- Lasers can cut a very tiny area, less than the width of the finest thread, to remove very small cancers without damaging surrounding tissue.
- Lasers are used to apply heat to tumors in order to shrink them.
- Lasers are sometimes used with drugs that are activated by laser light to kill cancer cells.
- Lasers can bend and go through tubes to access hard to reach places.
- Lasers are used in microscopes to enable physicians to view the site being treated.
