Laser assisted cryosurgical resection of malignant tumour tissues.

Author(s) : RAO W., LIU J., ZHOU Y. X.

Summary

A new method for resecting malignant tumours through combining laser cutting and partial freezing efficiently and safely was proposed for the first time. Conceptual experiments were performed to demonstrate the feasibility of the present tumour treatment strategy. Thermal infrared system as well as thermocouples were applied to investigate the temperature profiles of target tissues when subjected to a laser assisted cryoablation and thermotherapy. The results show that the laser assisted resection can effectively cut large frozen region tissue via a rather convenient and safe manner. This research is expected to be of significant reference for tumour treatment in future clinics.
