A LASER DEVICE FOR USE IN CLINICAL TREATMENT OF MALIGNANT TUMORS,
Abstract
A series of cooperative experiments between the National Cancer Institute and the Army Missile Command began in late 1963 with treatment of two separate tumor systems in two different strains of mice. The first group consisted of 96 female CxDBA/F1 hybrid mice with a single Cloudman S91 melanoma implant in each. Forty-four of these mice were exposed to laser radiation and fifty-two were untreated and used for controls to determine the difference in survival between the two groups. The second group consisted of seventy-three female C57BL/6JN mice with a single Lewis T241 sarcoma implant in each. Thirty-three of these mice had the sarcoma exposed to the laser; forty were untreated controls. The results of this test are discussed.
