<title>Optimization of laser heating with the treatment of spontaneous tumors of domestic animals by use of thermography</title>

Cancer laser therapy using gold nanoparticles

“…166 Terentyuk et al 165 have presented the following experimental examples of successful phototreatment: melanoma of mucosa of dog mouth (two cases), oral squamous cell carcinoma (two cases), cutaneous and external ear canal squamous cell carcinoma. Nanoparticles were injected directly into the region of the tumor.…”

“…In the high-dose group, the average achieved temperature was 65.4°C, which is known to be effective in thermal ablation therapy. Terentyuk et al 165 describe some preliminary clinical results of silica/gold nanoshells (140/20 nm)-mediated laser thermal ablation of spontaneous tumors of skin and oral mucosa of cats and dogs. For pre-operation estimation of the tumor size and control of local heating and temperature rise under the laser radiation, infrared thermography was used.…”
