  2. 1. Physical Aspects of Thermotherapy - A study of heat transport with a view to treatment optimisation

    Author : Johan Olsrud; Sektion V; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; magnetic resonance; non-invasive; temperature; coagulation; prostatic; menorrhagia; liver tumour; finite element method FEM ; thermal conductivity; intracavitary; interstitial; laser; Thermotherapy; hyperthermia; MRI; Medicine human and vertebrates ; Medicin människa och djur ; Physics; Fysik; Fysicumarkivet A:1998:Olsrud;

    Abstract : Local treatment with the aim to destruct tissue by heating (thermotherapy) may in some cases be an alternative or complement to surgical methods, and has gained increased interest during the last decade. The major advantage of these, often minimally-invasive methods, is that the disease can be controlled with reduced treatment trauma and complications. READ MORE

  4. 2. Interstitial Laser Thermotherapy of Liver Tumours. Methodology and Application

    Author : Páll Helgi Möller; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Resection; Liver; Neoplasm; Blood flow; Monitoring; Feedback control; Light penetration; Bare fibre; Sapphire probe; Nd:YAG laser; Interstitial thermotherapy; Hyperthermia; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

    Abstract : Interstitial laser thermotherapy (ILT) is a method well suited for selective local destruction of malignant tumours. In the present work, a laser thermotherapy system based on feedback temperature control of energy delivery (through computerised feedback system) was developed. READ MORE

  6. 4. Interstitial laser thermotherapy (ILT) of breast cancer - Methodology and immunological responce

    Author : Kristin Huld-Haraldsdottir; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Breast cancer; Laser thermotherapy; Minimally invasive treatment; Tumour immunology; Thermal treatment; Tumour size; Magnetic resonance imaging;

    Abstract : Interstitial laser thermotherapy (ILT) is an attractive form of local therapy against cancer because of its anti-tumor immune activity. The aim of this work was to evaluate ILT in breast cancer with respect to technique, changes in tissue immunocompetent cells and effect on prognosis. READ MORE

  7. 5. Interstitial laser thermotherapy (ILT) of an adenocarcinoma implanted into rat liver - methodology and effects

    Author : Kjell Ivarsson; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi; heat shock protein HSP ; tumour immunology; resection; liver; adenocarcinoma; local treatment; monitoring; Interstitial laser thermotherapy; feedback control;

    Abstract : Local treatment of a tumour is of interest from a number of perspectives. It is focused on reducing the tumour volume with minimal trauma, inducing tumour immunity and is a potential component of a combination therapy against tumours. READ MORE
