The rapid development of laser medicine and healing "tailored" diseases

At present, the laser in the medical field has been widely used, including skin medical, dental, cardiology, nerve surgery and ophthalmology.

The benefit is that you can not make knife to patients with high precision. For example, laser treatment for eye diseases can vision correction, which has become a very popular treatment. United Kingdom each year successfully completed more than 10 million cases of surgical laser treatment of eyes, this figure is growing. Similarly, laser treatment can also be used to remove tattoos and birthmarks. In this regard laser surgery has broken through barriers, can fully eliminate the tattoo pigment or marks.

With the development of laser medicine, cancer treatment has to be sure, in some applications of cancer treatment has over 20 years.

Laser can cut cancer and hemostasis, application of high-intensity focused laser direct radiation oncology, also enable cancer rapidly turns into steam and mist, eliminating cancer. In the medical field, scientists predict that the future based on laser treatment for cancer, will bring revolutionary discourse, but also for national health insurance system saves a lot of expenses.

Photodynamic therapy which is a drug that cancer cells are very sensitive to light, when the laser direct focus area, the drug is positive reaction and destroy cancer cells.

This kind of laser treatment methods are mostly used for skin cancer, also used in the treatment group. The doctor said, Photodynamic therapy like chemotherapy, their advantage is not on the one hand; on the other hand, is a side effect of irradiation on the patient cannot be repeated exposure, while the laser can be used more than once.

Over the past five or six, the laser is used to treat cancer technology with extremely large improvements, so now many different hospitals are able to adopt, for each type of cancer is not suitable for the treatment of disease.

At present, the laser in the clinical aspects of cancer confined mainly to superficial tumors (such as skin cancer, penile cancer, etc.) and digestive tract tumors (such as esophageal cancer, rectal cancer, etc.), in the treatment of visceral tumour is still in the exploration phase.

Looking to the future, the United Kingdom Dundee University biological imaging department supervisor Professor Harry · Moseley, Diagnostics is an exciting field, in which the laser is the main role to play.

Early diagnosis is our body through laser light up somewhere to see their reaction to distinguish subtle changes to feedback the patient has the status of cancer, and through analysis of improving and perfecting the diagnosis.

United Kingdom Royal Gloucestershire hospitals biological Imaging Research Group of Professor Nick · stone confirmed the use of laser diagnostic importance of the way.

He said: "it would have significantly different from the past, providing a large number of effects on the body, not the normal cells. We can make a quick diagnosis using laser, which is a United Kingdom national health insurance system saves a lot of overhead. You can also relieve the patient's pain, having to do with living tissue of a check to find out whether there are signs of disease. ”

At the same time, scientists through laser imaging technology gained a new perspective on how the disease is formed cells and how baffling disease.

Scientists say that the future of this technology for the clinical knowledge will help doctors based on individual need to customize drugs, this personalized medical can ensure effective against individual cancer and side-effects are minimized.

Rutherford Appleton Laboratory has been committed to in-depth studies of laser equipment, the Centre of Catherine · Lancaster, said: "the laser sensor is huge.

"At present she is drawn into a new research and development — a study of laser tweezers. Medical experts in this two-beam laser composition of special tweezers, able to control and movement of particles seen under a microscope, in order to isolate some individual cells. Lancaster, said: "the laser can also provide a way to accelerate the particles of the cheap. "The technology has the potential to reduce the size of conventional accelerator. This portable machine for medical provides many applications, including treatment for cancer. As long as the technology remain constant development, the laser will continue in the future play an important role in medicine.
