Interstitial laser thermotherapy has a low risk of complications due to high-tech monitoring. Limitations of laser thermotherapy for liver cancer: • The maximum number of tumors - 5 • The maximum size of the tumor - 50 mm • Metastases after recently performed resection • Cancer progression while on … Laser Interstitial ThermoTherapy (LITT) is a well establish surgical method used in the treatment of tumors. This study analyzes the extent of tissue damage when using LITT in a liver. GAMBIT and FIDAP was used to model a spherical tumor with a diameter of 4cm in a 12cm spherical liver. Stefan Zangos. Martin G. Mack. Purpose: To evaluate MR-guided interstitial laser-induced thermotherapy (LITT) for the treatment of liver tumors.Materials and methods: To date, 1,632 patients with immunostimulating interstitial laser thermotherapy - Product development in the network of developers, industry and users.

Thermotherapy is a technology aiming at destroying tissue, for example tumor tissue. Immunostimulating Interstitial Laser Thermotherapy (imILT) is a specific form of thermotherapy, which, in addition to destroying tumor tissue, has been optimized to cause a tumor specific immunologic response.

Interstitial Thermotherapy (ITT) Using Nd:YAG Laser as a New Option for the Treatment of Neuroma Medical Laser Application, Vol. 16, No. 2 Interstitial laser thermotherapy … Acronym Definition; LITT: Laser-Induced Interstitial Thermotherapy (treatment of benign and malignant gliomas): LITT: Laser-Induced Thermal Therapy (cancer treatment) Mobile Laser Unit The computer controlled laser unit is equipped with touch screen graphical user interface and an integrated tissue temperature control system for use during US/CT guidance. Real-time tissue temperature measurements can be used to control the output power throughout the thermal therapy or ablation procedure. Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is an emerging technique to treat primary and metastatic brain tumors that can be hard to reach with conventional surgery. LITT is performed by implanting a laser catheter into the tumor and heating it to temperatures high enough to kill the tumor.

Several non-surgical techniques are available that aim to destroy tumor tissue in a way that is as gentle as possible for patients. One such method is laser-induced interstitial thermal therapy (LITT), also called laser-induced thermotherapy. LITT directs laser light through thin optical fibers to target a well-defined area and destroy the tumor. Interstitial Laser thermotherapy Various concepts to monitor the damage caused The goal of the therapy is to destroy a localised target volume of tissue. The heated region should thus be limited to this target volume. The temperature should not exceed 100 oC (since gas bubble formation can cause remote damage) Applied as quick as possible to Interstitial laser thermotherapy (ILT) is a method well suited for selective local destruction of malignant tumours.

196 p. Research output: Thesis › Doctoral Thesis (compilation) 2007-04-26 · In no patient metastatic deposits along the catheter access route were found. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with colorectal liver metastases, interstitial laser thermotherapy is an effective and safe therapeutic option and therefore suitable not only in palliative situations.

ILT - interstitial laser thermotherapy (eng.), metod för behandling av t.ex. levertumörer där värme frigörs med hjälp av en laser som förts in i tumören.

Although the effects of LITT have been modeled in vivo, the histologic effects in a clinical circumstance have not been described. We analyzed tissue from a patient who underwent LITT as primary treatment for GBM. Case presentation A 62-year-old Laser interstitial thermotherapy (LITT) is a minimally-invasive local laser thermal treatment that has been used clinically to treat tumours and other diseases in organs such as the liver, brain, prostate and breast (Masters and Bown 1992, Schroder et al 1994, Steger et al 1989, Bown 1983).
