New Horizons for Laser Ablation: Nanomedicine, Thermometry, and Hyperthermal Treatment Planning Tools

Among the different thermal therapies known in the clinical practice, the technique based on laser light appears to be fast and relatively tissue insensitive. Improvement of the procedure for inducing thermal damage only within the tumor volume and safety margins, while spearing the surrounding healthy tissue and structures, is still a priority for research groups and companies working in this field.
