9.2.2 Lasers in Diagnostic Medicine,
and in combination with Drugs:
Diagnostics of cancer cells using
Fluorescence, and Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT)
One of the biggest problems in medicine today is to find a cure
for cancer.
There are many treatments for
cancer to destroy the cancer cells, such as:
-
Disectomy of the infected organ.
-
Radioactive irradiation.
-
Heat treatment.
All these treatments improve the chance of cure in some cases, but the "magic" medicine has not yet been found.
Since there is no solution yet, the medical professionals are looking for new ways to solve the big problem of cancer.
