## Background and objective: "minimal treatment strategy" is desirable in certain breast cancer patients. the main objective of the present study is to examine the use of interstitial laser thermotherapy (laserthermia) for this purpose. ## Study design/materials and methods: Thirty-five patients

## Abstract ## Background and Objective Laser‐induced thermotherapy (LITT) is a promising treatment for irresectable liver tumors. To predict the effects of laser applications and to optimize treatment planning in LITT, it is essential to gain knowledge about light distribution in tissue, tissue o
## Background and objective: The size (0.5-1.0 cm) of early nonpalpable breast tumors currently detected by mammography and confirmed by stereotactic core biopsy is of the order of the penetration depth of near infrared photons in breast tissue. in principle, stereotactically biopsied tumors, there
## Abstract About 20% of breast carcinomas show no clonal chromosome abnormalities when analyzed after short‐term culturing. An interesting question is whether this subset of breast carcinomas really is karyotypically normal or if selection for normal cells occurred in vitro. To address this issue,
