  2. Lasers in cancer treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lasers_in_Cancer_Treatment

    Laser therapy can be used alone, but most often it is combined with other treatments, such as surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. In addition, lasers can seal nerve endings to reduce pain after surgery and seal lymph vessels to reduce swelling and limit the spread of tumor cells.

  3. Low-level laser therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-level_laser_therapy

    Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), cold laser therapy, photobiomodulation (PBM) or red light therapy is a form of medicine that applies low-level (low-power) lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to the surface of the body.

  4. Blood irradiation therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_irradiation_therapy

    Blood irradiation therapy is an alternative medical procedure in which the blood is exposed to low-level light (often laser light) for therapeutic reasons. The practice was originally developed in the United States, but most recent research on it has been conducted in Germany (by UV lamps) and in Russia (in all variants).
