Lamp for photochemoterapy.

摘要

A halogen source (1) emits a light whose radiations are filtered (2) and condensed (3) in order to be channelized on fiber optics (4) of a diagnostic/ therapeutic probe (4 min ) with selection (2 min ) of the band of emission. The concomitant use of suitable pharmacological preparations, particularly porphyrins, phtalocyanines and their derivatives with photosensitive characteristics, allows to perform the therapy of neoplastic cells. Therefore it is avoided the use of dye-laser sources of considerable manufacturing cost and smaller operational flexibility.
