Laser medicine, as differentiated from laser surgery, has made tremendous progress in recent years. Laser diagnosis includes various laser techniques such as spectroscopy, Doppler velocimetry. and cytofluorometry, including cell sorter systems for current htbridima technology. In addition, there is laser induced fluorescence for cancer detection and treatment. Laser immunobiology includes laser nephelometry. Laser acoustical microscopy and laser transillumination for cancer diagnosis are also a part of current laser medicine, which offers much for cancer research, diagnosis, and treatment.
