Journal ArticleDOI
Extinction and absorption coefficients and scattering phase functions of human tissues in vitro
TL;DR: The results show that, for the investigated tissues, extinction coefficients range from ~200 to 500 cm(-1) whereas absorption coefficients, depending on wavelength, vary from 0.2 to 25cm(-1).
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature rise in biological tissue during Nd:YAG laser irradiation
TL;DR: The bidimensional thermal maps showed that the temperature did not decrease in a purely exponential fashion along the beam axis, but reached a maximum at about 1 mm beneath the surface, which could explain the explosion inside the tissues observed in surgical application of the Nd:YAG laser.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laser phototherapy following HpD administration in superficial neoplastic lesions.
Gaetano Bandieramonte,R. Marchesini,Elsa Melloni,C. Andreoli,Di Pietro S,Pasquale Spinelli,Giannino Fava,Franco Zunino,Hermes Emanuelli +8 more
TL;DR: The phototherapeutic technique proved to be effective in selected cases of neoplastic lesions, especially when conventional treatment modalities were poorly indicated or contraindicated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preliminary clinical studies with PDT by topical TPPS administration in neoplastic skin lesions
V. Sacchini,Elsa Melloni,R. Marchesini,A. Luini,G. Bandieramonte,Pasquale Spinelli,N. Cascinelli +6 more
TL;DR: Preliminary clinical trials performed at the National Cancer Institute of Milan in the last six months have confirmed the feasibility of treating skin lesions by topical application of photosensitizers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of low-energy laser irradiation on colony formation capability in different human tumor cells in vitro.
TL;DR: Results were mixed, but the trend of most data was toward an increase in colony formation, and Wilcoxon's signed‐ranks test suggested that light increases tumor cell culture growth.
