<p>A system for the irradiation of certain forms of cancer with broad spectrum radiation via optic fibres and optic probes is described. Optic fibres (10) and (11) are introduced into or in close proximity to cancerous tissue by means of optic probes (13) in such a way as to avoid unnecessary irradiation of adjacent healthy tissue. The UV energy destroys cancer cells while the IR energy heats up the tissue, thereby enhancing the effects of other forms of treatment such as chemotherapy or ionising radiation. UV and IR radiation may be administered via optic fibres simultaneously with conventional radiation or chemotherapy, or the UV and/or IR radiation may be administred separately or in combination on the completion of conventional treatments. Radiation levels from radiation sources (1) and (2) are controlled by a computer (21) and a control module (18). By means of a communication fibre (16) and a picture fibre (15), the course of the treatment may be followed on a monitor (17), data recorded on a printer (22) and shown on a computer display (23).</p> |
