Abstract
The aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of spatial light distribution from flat (FA) and diffusing applicator (DA) on photothermal therapy (PTT) of tumor treatment in in vivo models. Due to cylindrical and wide light distribution, DA yielded uniform thermal coagulation as well as covering the entire tumor region while FA partially ablated the tumor (i.e., two-fold larger). In vivo tests presented that the DA group significantly reduced the tumor volume (i.e., 0.7 cm3), whereas the FA group yielded unpredictable tumor removal and remarkably tumor growth (i.e., 1.6 cm3) after seven-days treatment (Day 7). The proposed DA-assisted PTT can be a feasible way to treat prostate tumor in an effective and safe manner.
