Abstract:
In this workshop all new methods of photodynamic laser therapy will be presented. The mechanism of photodynamic laser therapy and the different photosensitizers and lasers for stimulation will be demonstrated and explained in detail. The newest Endolaser device for local, intravenous, interstitial and intratumoral laser photodynamic therapy in combination with fiberoptic technology will be demonstrated and treatments will be shown practically for better understanding. New lasers like blue and yellow are presented first time for photodynamic cancer treatments in combination with plant derived photosensitizers like Hypericin and Curcumin. Exact treatment protocols will be given in detail for the different types of cancers. New fiberoptic applicators for treatment of prostate and bladder cancer with circular and spheric irradiation technology will be shown as well for tumors in urology. For gastroenterology endoscopic treatment modalities with special fiberoptic equipment for endoscopes will be demonstrated and explained how to use it in colon, gastric and oesophageal cancer. Combination of laser stimulated low-dose chemotherapy with photodynamic laser therapy is a new approach in integrative cancer therapy. At the end new studies, future developments and research will be discussed.
