Besides surgical intervention, there are virtually no palliative treatment modalities available for bleeding and/or obstructing colorectal malignancy. The usefulness and safety of laser photocoagulation was prospectively investigated in 63 patients with colorectal cancer. The merits were evaluated i

Endocardial coagulation lesions were created using transcatheter continuous-wave NdYAG laser irradiation. Ultrasound monitoring of thermal lesion dimensions was performed using 7.5-MHz and 10-MHz transducers directly from the epicardial surface in short-axis configuration (group A) or through the ch
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives The objective of this study was to evaluate the outcome of laser photoβthermoablation for palliation of recurrent squamous cell tumors of the oral cavity. ## Study Design/Patients and Methods Seventeen patients were treated with the Nd:YAG laser (power ou
## 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
Three hundred eight patients with obstructing malignant tumors of the gastrointestinal tract were submitted to endoscopic Nd:YAG laser palliation. The number of sessions as well as the number of days and total energy required for initial recanalization of the stenosis were related to tumor length. L
