Lasers can be used in 2 main ways to treat cancer:
To shrink or destroy a tumor with heat
To activate a chemical – known as a photosensitizing agent – that kills only the cancer cells. (This is called photodynamic therapy or PDT.)
Though lasers can be used alone, they are often used with other cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
