Description
Close up of surgeons' hands in an operating room with a beam of light traveling along fiber optics during photodynamic therapy. Its source is a laser beam which is split at two different stages to create the proper therapeutic wavelength. The patient has been given a photosensitive drug, Photofrin, which the cancer cells absorb. The light beam, which activates cancer-killing substances in the drug, is positioned at the tumor site.
