Method for heat treatment of tissue using laser therapy
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11998756B2) discloses a method for heat treatment of tissue, specifically targeting tumors. The method involves inserting a lead with a movable outer sleeve and a tissue heating element, such as an optical fiber, into the tumor interstitially. By positioning the fiber tip at a specific distance from the tumor boundary and monitoring temperatures, the energy provided to the tissue heating element is controlled to maintain a predefined temperature range. This precise control aims to kill tumor cells while preserving tumor antigens, crucial for immune response induction in mammals. The method also includes imaging the tumor before and during the procedure, providing valuable information on tumor characteristics like size, location, and nearby blood vessels or ducts.
Furthermore, the patent details an automated process where a control system, including a microprocessor, manages the energy provision, monitoring, and temperature control during the heat treatment. Multiple temperature sensors along the leads aid in accurate temperature monitoring and energy adjustment. By utilizing a combination of leads with different functions, such as tissue heating and temperature sensing, the method ensures effective and controlled heat treatment of tumors, preventing the destruction of essential tumor antigens. The innovation also includes features like locking mechanisms for precise positioning of the heating element and sleeves, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of the treatment process.
