Abstract

The therapeutic application of laser light is a promising alternative to surgical resection of colorectal liver metastases. The extent of tumor destruction achieved by this strategy depends primarily on light distribution in the target tissue. Knowledge about optical properties is necessary to predict light distribution in the tissue for careful irradiation planning. The aim of this study was to compare the optical behavior of healthy colon tissue with that of colorectal carcinomas and their hepatic metastases in the native and coagulated state in order to test the effect of malignant degeneration, metastasis, and thermal coagulation on optical parameters. Ninety tissue samples were taken from patients with a colorectal carcinoma and concomitant liver metastases: healthy colon tissue (n = 30); colon carcinoma (n = 30); liver metastases (n = 30). Optical properties were measured according to the single integrating sphere principle in the native state and after thermal coagulation in the wavelength range of 800-1,100 nm and analyzed by inverse Monte Carlo simulation. The highest optical penetration depth for all tissue types was obtained at the end of the spectral range investigated. The highest penetration depths of 4.13 mm (hea...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
