摘要
The extent of coagulative necrosis caused by interstitial laser hyperthermia was measured for different quantities of laser energy in a rat mammary tumor model. Continuous wave Nd:YAG laser at a power level of 5 W was focused onto a 600-mu-diameter bare tip quartz fiber and placed inside a 19-gauge needle, which allowed the para-axial flow of normal saline at 1 cc/min. A microthermocouple soldered to the outside of the probe continuously provided the interstitial temperature. After the probe was inserted into the tumor, it was withdrawn as laser energy was administered at a rate sufficient to maintain the temperature within 42-45-degrees-C. Tumors were excised after 48 hours, fixed in formalin, cut in 3 mm slices, and the coagulated surfaces measured microscopically. Laser fiber transmission loss was 1% per 1,000 J of laser energy and the average time required to coagulate 1 cc of tumor was 2 minutes. There was a statistically significant correlation between the volume of tumor necrosis and the level of laser irradiation (r = 0.71, P < 0.001). It is concluded that the described technique is an efficient method of tumor coagulation by interstitial laser hyperthermia and proportionally larger volumes of necrosis are created with greater amounts of laser energy.
