Abstract

Laser therapy (860-910 nm) has been used to treat cancer since 1988. A key challenge is determining the dose of laser radiation absorbed by the tumor. Attenuation coefficients of laser radiation were determined for different breast tissues at various tissue thicknesses and beam angles. These results enable the development of a methodology for determining optimal irradiation modes by considering both the absorbed dose of laser radiation and objective examination data (ultrasound, mammography, CT, and MRI).
