Popis: Laser therapy methods are used in clinically throughout the world. It was shown that flash-lamppumped dye lasers are effective when treating for a number of diseases including combined tumortherapy. On the other hand, light sources were used in medicine too, and there are yet no conclusiveresults as to the beneficial effects ofthese methods. We have shown that one can treat by applying the sources on the bases of either a dye laser or a powerful pulse lamp. 1 . LASER PARAMETERS AND THERAPY.To treat medically for oncological diseases, three principal methods, or their combinations, areapplied: surgical treatment, chemical therapy and ionizing radiation. Each of them is burdened by sideeffects, and, therefore, there is no doubt as regards the urgency of developing new devices to reduce atreatment period, or to rehabilitate oncological patients.It has been shown that laser therapy methods are effective when treating for a number of diseases.In particular, the systems developed on the basis of a helium-neon or an semiconductor laser have been
