Laser phototherapy and diagnosis are emerging as new tools for cancer detection and treatment. Tumor uptake of laser dyes and chemotherapy drugs followed by laser fiberoptic insertion provides a less invasive and more effective treatment option for many cancer patients. Further development will be needed to identify optimal drug and laser combinations before this new approach becomes clinically useful.
