Selective application of laser light with wavelength 1268 μm for treating solid tumours. Physical methods for potentiating the immune response

Abstract

During the experimentation with melanoma В16 it has been shown that laser light at X = 1268 μm has a highly selective effect at solid tumours. Such a phenomenon may be explained by physical-chemical processes involved in the immune system response to antigen and comprises the generation of lacking components usually produced by the immune system, singlet oxygen in particular. Other opportunities of potentiating the immune system are also discussed.
