The document summarizes experimental and clinical research on using infrared laser therapy between 890-910 nm to treat breast cancer. Experimental studies showed that lower doses of laser therapy (0.46 J/cm2) inhibited tumor growth more than higher doses. Laser therapy combined with chemotherapy was also effective, particularly with vincristin. Clinical studies on 136 breast cancer patients found that laser therapy before or after surgery, or alone, reduced complications, improved immune function and quality of life, and increased survival time. Histological analysis found over 50% tumor tissue disappeared after effective laser treatment.
Analysis of Radiation Cystitis and Radiation Proctitis Cases in Patients with...Premier Publishers
Carcinoma cervix is commonly seen in India and is mostly diagnosed at an advanced stage where radiation therapy forms the basis of its treatment. Radiation cystitis and proctitis are commonly seen in these patients and contribute to increased morbidity and mortality. The aim of our study was to analyze the factors associated with radiation cystitis and proctitis in treated patients of carcinoma cervix. A retrospective observational study. All treated patients of carcinoma cervix from 2012 to 2017 with radiation induced cystitis and proctitis attending GOPD were analyzed. Descriptive statistics applied using SPSS software (Version 16). Chi square test and Fischer t test applied for calculating significance values. 100 cases were analyzed in toto. 89% belonged to radiation proctitis group and 11% to radiation cystitis group. All patients received external beam radiotherapy either in the form of conventional (90%) or IMRT technique (10%). Prevalence of radiation proctitis and cystitis in conventional radiotherapy group was 10.4% and 1.31% respectively and in IMRT group was 6.29% and 0.69% respectively. The patients were followed up after treatment for a minimum of 6 months. 100% cystitis cases were cured. But, 15.7% of proctitis cases did not get relieved of their symptoms. Radiation proctitis was seen more in patients receiving conventional radiotherapy via LINAC accelerators as compared to IMRT technique. More patient load, lack of adequate packing methods may contribute to increased incidence of RT related complications. Further evaluation of these patients is required to suggest management protocols and also to avoid them.

Adenocarcinoma of the pancreas (PDAC) accounts for 2.4% of all cancers diagnosed and is the fourth leading cause of cancer death, with almost equal rates of incidence and mortality [1]. By 2030, pancreatic cancer is projected to be the second leading cause of cancer-related death [2], surpassing breast, prostate and colorectal cancer. The overall survival at 5 years of around 7.2% as the majority of patients present with advanced disease at diagnosis. Patients with localized disease are treated with surgery, with or without neoadjuvant chemotherapy/ radiotherapy, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. The majority (around 80%) of patients are treated only with chemotherapy as they have an advanced disease. Patients are treated in the first line with gemcitabine-abraxane or Folfirinox and with Naliri plus 5FU in the second line. There have been few clinical advances in PDAC treatment over the last 20 years and chemotherapy is the only treatment option available for the majority of patients. These tumours are also resistant to many targeted therapies such as anti-EGFR therapy like cetuximab [3] due to the presence of a KRAS mutation in the majority of primary tumors. Personalized medicine strategies have not yet been established in pancreatic cancer as in other more common tumour types. Thus, novel anti-tumour strategies are an important clinical need in order to improve survival rates.

Pancreatic cancer remains as one of the most aggressive and deadliest of cancers largely due to formidable challenges in diagnosis and therapy. Consensus standard treatment for patients with nonmetastatic Pancreatic Cancer (PC) incorporates possible neoadjuvant chemotherapy with timely surgical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy. However, despite all the sophistication of modern radiological and endoscopic techniques, the decision regarding operability is often only made intra-operatively, therefore subjecting a patient to unnecessary surgical intervention, and postponing the possibility of starting early chemotherapy.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

3. Results
3.1. Experimental Study: Investigations on the influence of dif-
ferent doses of lllt on the growth of experimental tumors
• Aims of the Research
The general strategy of our work lay in the following:
1. To study the effect of LLR on different types of implant-
ed tumors (Walker's carcinosarcoma, cancer of mammary
glands (RMK-1) and spontaneous tumors (cancer of the
breast in mice).
2. To determine the most effective dosages of LLR affecting
the growth of different tumors and prolonging the life-
span in animals. (20) To study morphological changes in
different types of exper¬imental tumors under the influ-
ence of LLR.
• Materials and Methods
In order better to verify the results of research we have done by
that work on different types of tumors: Implanted Walker's car-
cinosarcoma (26 rats), implanted cancer of the mammary gland
RMK-1 (75 rats) and spontaneous cancer of the mammary glands.
Walker's carcinosarcoma n256 (from the U.S.A. bank) implanted
by a standard technique into female rats weighing 120-150 g. La-
ser irradiation added on the third day after the cancer implantation.
Treatment lasted next 5 days. On the 7th day the animals were
decapitated.
Cancer of the mammary gland (RMK-1) implanted by a standard
technique into female rats weighing 85 g. All experimental ani-
mals were divided into 2 groups. First group:
Laser irradiation started on the 8th day after the inoculation. LLR
lasted five days, and the animals were decapitated on the 13th day
after the inoculation (30 animals). Second group:
Animals were decapitated on the 20th day after tumor implantation
After all, works and experiments we compared the number of an-
imals in the control group to the number of survived animals in
experimental groups.
All animals with implanted tumors were divided into three groups:
• TI group—the total dosage of irradiation was 0.46 J/cm2
• TII group—the total dosage of irradiation was 1.53 J/cm2
• TIII group—controls.
Walker's carcinosarcoma served for us as a training model because
of its short period of duplication which is equal to a 2-3-day peri-
od. Due to this we have found out the most perspective treatment
schemes of irradiation. RMK-1 having a slower growth process
(the period of duplication is 4-6 days), served for us as a basic
model on which we could check and prove the results obtained for
LLR on Walker's carcinosarcoma.
Mice with spontaneous cancer of mammary glands (188 animals),
type B, were divided into three groups according to the purposes
of the research:
• Group Ml—to determine the most effective dosage of
LLR for the life-span (45 animals).
• Group M2—to study histological changes under different
dosages of LLR (60 animals).
• Group M3—to study the efficiency of LLR at different
stages of tumors process (83 animals).
In groups Ml and M2 all animals had similar dimensions of tumors
nodules 1.0 ± 0.3 cm and were subdivided into equal groups:
• Group 1A—LLR with the total dosage 0.03 J/cm2.
• Group 1B—LLR with the total dosage 0.3 J/cm2.
• Group 1C—controls.
Group Ml animals were observed for 30 days. Their life-span as
well as the controls was determined and compared. In group M2
the animals were decapitated on the 8th day after the beginning
of LLR treatment. In group M3, the animals received a total LLR
dosage of 0.03 J/cm2. The group M3 animals were subdivided into
equal groups according to the dimensions of tumor nodes:
• Group 3A—1.0 ± 0.3 cm (experimental—16, con-
trols—17)
• Group 3B—2.0 ± 0.3 cm (experimental—17, con-
trols—16).
• Group 3C—3.0 ± 0.3 cm (experimental—9, controls—8).

Laser therapy have been conducted during 8 days in all investi-
gations. In this research used Ga-As semiconductor laser (wave-
length 890 nm, pulsed mode, pulse power 5W). Histological inves-
tigations were carried out as follows: A thin plate cut out of a tu-
mor node, then it was cut into several segments. This material has
been putted into paraffin. Pieces as thick as 5-7 fim were stained
with haematoxylin and eosin.
• Results
Results of treatment rats with Walker's carcinosarcoma on the 7th
day after the inoculation and LLR we visually see more definite
margins of the tumors node with the capsule formation (Figure
1). The weight of tumors was: Group TI (0.46 J/cm2) — 9.92 g
(p < 0.5); Group TII (1.53 J/cm2) —11.58 g (p > 0.5); Group TIII
(control) —11.28 g (Figure 2).
Thus, the increase in the dosage of 3.32 times did not produce tu-
mor-static effect, and the TII group did not differ from the controls.
Histological investigations showed that histological changes do
not depend on the LLLT dosage, and in the TI and TII groups.
Changes in all groups were almost the similar; there were not any
significant difference in their histological pictures. Both in the ex-
perimental.

While comparing the experimental and control groups one could
see a tendency to the increased dystrophic changes in cells and
larger areas of necrosis in the experimental groups. In those groups
there were more pronounced impairments in microcirculation.
Vessels of the capillary type were filled with erythrocytes; massive
hemorrhagic foci were seen as well.
In group of rats with RMK-I after LLR tumor nodes did not differ
visually from the controls (Figure 4).
Weight of 13-day-old implanted RMK-1 compared for laser thera-
py and control animals (Figure 5).
The difference between foci of necrosis, however in the tumor
cells of the experimental group dystrophic changes were more
pronounced.
Life-span of RMK-1-implanted rats compared for laser therapy
and control animals
(Figure 6).
The difference between the rats which have been irradiated by the
lower LLLT dose group and the other two groups was statistically
significant (p < 0.5).
Research on mice showed that the life-span of animals treated with
LLR was longer than in the control group of animals. In the TI
group animals lived longer by 1.44 times, in the TII group 1.24
times respectively, in comparison to controls (Figure 7).
Histological analysis of tumors from the exper¬imental group
showed more marked necrotic changes; two nodules were almost
totally necrotized. However, in the preserved tumor parenchyma
there was rather high mitotic activity (Figure 8). Significant differ-
ence between the histologic picture of the TI and TII groups was
not observed.

The effectiveness of laser therapy depended on the tumor dimen-
sions. In group 3A life-span of animals with small tumors LLR
increased by 1.53 times; in group 3B -test animals with larger
tumor LLLT sowed lower efficacy—1.29 times in comparison to
controls.
In group of mice with spontaneous mammary gland cancer (type
A.B) we have studied only life-span of animals. The mice were
divided into 3 groups - Group 1A—0.03 J/cm2; group 1B—0.3 J/
cm2; group IC— control (Figure 7).
Researches showed that the life-span of animals treated with LLLT
was longer than in the controls.
Histological analysis of tumors from the experimental group
showed more marked necrotic changes two nodules were almost
totally necrotized. However, in the preserved tumor parenchyma
there was rather high mitotic activity (Figure 8)
• Discussion
Our research shows that LLR on different types of experimental
tumors can produce different effects on their growth. Depending
on the obtained dosage tumor growth can either be slowed down or
be similar to that in the controls. It is worth noting that the growth
of implanted tumors in rats (Walker's carcinosarcoma, RMK1) is
slowed down at the dosage of 0.46 J/cm2 and also increasing dos-
age of up to 1.53 J/cm2 did not produce tumor-static effect. Tu-
mors were insignificantly different by their weight and dimensions
compared with the controls. The life-span of animals with RMK-1
was also longer by 1.2 times when the dosage was minimal. This
tendency was proved during experiments on mice when the ap-
plication of minimal dosages (0.03 J/ cm2) led to the increase of
life-span by 1.44 times. Dosage increase in this case was also in-
effective.
Histology analysis has shown that LLR increases dystrophic and
necrotic changes in the tumor model. We showed also that mor-
phologic changes were more pronounced in tumors with rapid
growth (Walker's carcinosarcoma); while in tumors with slower
growth and in more differentiated tumors these changes were less.
The efficacy of LLLT also depended on tumor dimension. The
most effective application of LLR is observed at early stages of
the disease when it can prolong the life of animals by 1.53 times.
In more advanced tumor the efficacy of LLLT decreases.
• Conclusions
1. Investigations of LLR effect on different types of im-
planted and spontaneous tumors have shown that this
treatment can be used for tumor-static effect and for in-
creasing life-span in animals.
2. Different doses of LLR have different effects on tumors
growth. The most effective dosages (in rats—0.56 J/
cm2; in mice—0.03 J/cm2) lead to the retardation in tu-
mors growth (in Walker's carcinosarcoma—by 12%; in
RMK-1 in rats—by 63.8%). Life-span of animals was
prolonged by 1.19 times in rats (RMK-1) and by 1.4
times in mice compared to the controls.
3. LLR efficacy also depends on tumor dimension. In an-
imals with small nodules (1.0 ± 0.3 cm) LLR increased
the life-span by 1.53 times. With the increase in tumors
size the efficacy of LLR is decreased.
4. Histological analysis has shown that LLR increases
dystrophic and necrotic changes in tumors. In rapidly
growing tumors, (like Walker's carcinosarcoma) these
changes are more pronounced than in slowly growing
ones (RMK-1 in rats, spontaneous cancer of mammary
glands in mice).
3.2. The Effect Of LLLT Combined With Chemotherapy On
The Growth Of Experimental Tumors
Investigations on rats with an implanted- tumor carcinosarcoma
of Walker's (31 animals), cancer of the mammary glands- RMK-1
(63 animals) - have shown that the application of low-level diode
laser beam (890 nm) with some chemotherapeutic agents (vin-
cristin,5-Pu,ciclophosphan) can affect the growth of experi-
mental tumors (21,22,23,24). Laser therapy has been shown to be
most effective before vincristin injection.
• Aims of The Research
The general strategy of our work lies in the following:
1. To study the effect of LLLR + chemotherapy on differ-
ent types of implanted tumors (Walker's carcinosarcoma,
RMK-1).
2. To determine the most effective dosages and combina-
tions of LLLR + chemotherapy affecting the tumor
growth.
3. To study morphological changes in experimental tumors
under the LLLR + chemotherapy effect and chemother-
apy alone.
• Materials and Methods
In order to varify obtained results of our research we have done
second part of work on different implanted tumor types. Walker's
carcinosarcoma has been implanted into 31 rats, cancer of mam-
mary gland RMK-1 has been implanted into 63 rats according-
ly. Accompanying chemotherapy included groups of chemother-
apeutic agents on the fourth or sixth day after the implantation.
The chemotherapeutic agents which used in therapeutic doses
(Vincristin-4 mg/kg, 5-Ftoruracillin (5-Fu)-15 mg/kg, Cyolophos-
pho-sphanum-80 mg/kg); this group of chemotherapeutic agents
have been chosen because of it’s ubiquitous used in chemotherapy.
Walker's carcinosarcoma N 256 (from the U.S.A. bank) was im-
planted by a standard technique into female rats (each weight 120-
150 g). Chemotherapy was performed on the fourth day after the
implantation. On the 7th day the animals were decapitated.

Volume 6 Issue 1 -2022 Research Article
All animals were divided into four groups:
TI
group – treating animals only with chemotherapeutic agents.
TII
group – treating animals with LLLR session dosage 0.6 J/cm2,
30 min, before the infusion of chemotherapeutic agents.
TIII
group – influence on organism by chemotherapeutic agents
after LLLR, first – 30 min after the infusion, second time- 24 hour
after the infusion; the total dosage of irradiation was 0,12 J/cm2.
TIV
group – controls.
The TI-TIII groups were divided into three parts. Each part ex-
posed the infusion of certain chemotherapeutic agents. Cancer of
the mammary gland (RMK-1) was implanted by a standard tech-
nique into female rats (each weighing 85 g). Chemotherapy added
on the sixth day after the implantations. On the13-th day the ani-
mals were decapitated.
All animals with tumors were divided into four group and every
group was divided into three subgroups depending on the variety
of chemotherapeutic agents:
MI
group – influence by only chemotherapeutic agents,
MII
group – influence by LLLR 30 min before the infusion of
chemotherapeutic agents,
MIII
group – influence by LLLR in 30 min after the infusion of
chemotherapeutic agents,
MIV
group – controls.
The MI-MIII groups were divided into two parts. First part was
subjected to be influenced by LLLR using dosage 0,6 J/cm2. Sec-
ond part was subjected to be influenced by LLLR using dosage
0,06 J/cm2. Walker's carcinosarcoma served as a training model
because of its short period of duplication within 2-3 days peri-
od. Due to this we have found out the most perspective schemes
of LLLR with chemotherapeutic agents. RMK-1 having a slower
growth process (the period of duplication is 4-6 days), served for
us a basic model on which we could check and prove the results
obtained for LLLR + chemotherapy on Walker's carcinocarcoma.
Besides we continue to examine the effect of different doses of
laser therapy application with GaAs semiconductor laser (wave-
length 890nm., pulsed mode, pulse power 5 W.). Histological in-
vestigation was carried out on tumor node, then it was out into
several segments. This material was put in paraffin. Pieces as thick
as 5-7 ^Lm were stained with hematoxylin and eosin.
• Results
The results show that influence on cancer tissue by LLLR has the
most effective results before adding chemotherapy, as well as the
most effective chemotherapeutic drug is vincristin (Figure 9).
Walker's carcinosarcoma in rats after the inoculation and chemo-
therapy with LLLR the weight of tumors was (Table 1).
The most effective one was was vincristine, under influence of that
drug the weight of tumors was 76.24% lower than in the control
group (statistically significant (p < 0.5).
The graph presented helps to analyze results more effectively
The weight of tumor nodes in rats with Walker's carcinosarcoma
on the 7th day after chemotherapy (gr.) (Figure 10).
Histological investigation has shown that the signs of therapeu-
tic pathomorphosis were more marked under LLLR before che-
motherapy than under simple chemotherapy. Under LLLR before
chemotherapy there were established the microcirculatory distur-
bances and dystrophic changes in tumor cells.
The influence on RMK-1 in rats with LLLR before chemotherapy
technique was more effective, than with inverse technique – che-
motherapy before LLLR. Vincristin was the most affective agent
than other ones (Figure 11).
The weight of tumor nodes in rats with RMK-1 on the13 day after
the implantation and on the 7th day after chemotherapy was as
follows (Table 2).
The graph presents result more effectively (Figure 12).
In this variety of tumors histological changes after LLLR + che-
motherapy were more marked dystrophic changes in tumors cells
under chemotherapy alone.

• Discussion
Our research show that LLLR has the most effective results when
it is applied before the injection of chemotherapy. While in
rats with Walker's carcinosarcoma injectionised by only one
chemotherapic drug that leaded to the inhibition in tumor growth
by 60,4% in average. In comparison to controls; LLLR in the dos-
age 0,6 J/cm2 before the injection of chemotherapy lead to tumor
growth inhibition by 83,3%
The combination of chemotherapy before LLLT was noted less
effective - tumor growth was retarded by 73,27% in comparison
to controls.
In rats with RMK-1 application of LLLR in the same dosage (0,6
J/cm2) before the chemotherapy injection lead to the tumor growth
inhibition by 88,35%, in average; the combination of chemother-
apy before LLLT was less effective and inhibited the growth by
71,43%, in average, in comparison to controls. Then, LLLT be-
fore the injection of chemotherapy, to our opinion, stimulates the
immune system of animals more effectively; it reliably reduced
toxic effect of chemotherapy and increased the efficiency of the
treatment. Less efficiency of LLLT (0,6 J/cm2) applied after the in-
jection of chemotherapy can be explained by the fact that the inhi-
bition of the immune system has already developed, the organism
moved, to the lower level of excitation and the stimulation of the
immune system of an animal was not considerable. The fact that
the reduction of LLLT dose in 10 times (up to 0,06 J/cm2) sharply
reduced the efficiency of LLLT with chemotherapy supports the
hypothesis that this efficiency depends on the immune system sta-
tus, i.e. this dosage was little effective for achieving your immu-
no-stimulating action. Histological studies also proved this fact;
they have shown that there were no statistically significant chang-
es in the histological picture of tumors after LLLR with chemo-
therapy and in tumors which were treated only with chemotherapy.
Further investigations (22) have proved that the therapy efficien-
cy also depends on LLLR dosage and scheme. If it important to
underline that chemotherapy drugs different by their mechanism
of action produce various effects in combination with the same
dosages and. regimes of LLLR treatment. The most effective was
combinations with vincristin: in rats with Walker's carcinosarcoma
the tumor growth was inhibited by 92,87% while in animals with
RMK-1 by 90,29%. Taking into account the fact that tumors static
mechanism of vincristin is based on its impact on protein com-
pounds of DMA and mitotic processes in a cell, we cannot exclude
the increase of the effect of this preparation and laser beam on a
cellular level.
• Conclusions
1. Studies of the LLLR effect on inoculated tumors of var-
ious types have shown that LLLR can be used in com-
bination with chemotherapeutic agents for achieving tu-
mors-static action.
2. Various schemes of LLLR application in combination
with chemo-preparations also produce various effect on
the tumor growth. The most effective was LLLR appli-
cation (0,6 J/cm2) before the injection of chemother-
apy drugs; this scheme causes the retardation in tumor
growth: in Walker's carcinosarcoma – by 83, 3%in av-
erage; in RMK-1 – by 88,3% in average, comparing to
controls.
3. Decrease of LLLR dosage up to 0,06 J/cm2 (RMK-1) re-
duced the efficiency of LLR + chemotherapy.
4. The most effective was the scheme LLLR before vin-
cristin application which caused the inhibition of tumor

1 - by 90,29% in comparing to controls,
5. Histological studies have shown the absence of consider-
able difference between LLLR + chemotherapy and che-
motherapy without supplying LLLR.
3.3. Study of the accumulative function of tumor cells after the
injection of hematoporphyrine derivatives (HpD) under the ir-
radiation with LLLT.
The possibility of using LLLT with photodynamic therapy was
studied on Walker' s carcinosarcoma N 256 from USA bank (25).
The selectivity of accumulation or irradiation of different chemo-
therapeutic drugs in tumor tissue is one of the main factors deter-
mining their curative-diagnostic efficiency, Pharmacokinetics of
hematoporphyrine derivatives (HpD) in intact and diseased organ-
ism has been studied by some researchers (26,27,28,29), However,
changes in HpD pharmacokinetics under some side-effects (for ex-
ample, the tumor process at different stages, the inflammatory pro-
cess in the organism, etc.) have not been studied in fact. The tumor
specificity of these preparations depends on the chemical structure,
changes in their transport and in the organism damaged by the dis-
ease. Various preparations are "bound in a different way by normal
and tumor cells. We preferred HpD synthesized in USSR as it has
the greatest possibility to accumulate in tumor cells (26).
• Aims of the Research
The general strategy of this work lies in the following:
1. To study the accumulation of HpD in the tumor under dif-
ferent schemes of LLLT and to determine the best regime
which effects the accumulation most strong.
2. To determine terms of significant changes in HpD ac-
cumulation and discharge from the tumor tissue under
LLLT.
• Materials and Methods
The experiments have been done on white female rats weighing
120-150 gr divided in 4 groups, 47 animals in each, Walker' s car-
cinosarcoma N 256 from USA bank was inoculated subcutaneous-
ly in the left lateral part of the body in dosage 0,5 ml. The pecu-
liarity of this tumor lies in a rapid growth with the period of du-
plication in 2-3 days. The experimentation was done on the 4-5th/
day after innoculation when possible spontaneous necrosis and
peripheric hemorrhages are absent. The preparation, a derivative
of hematoporphyrine (HpD) synthesized in Institute of Chemical
Technology (prof, Mironov A.) was injected in the dosage 10 mg/
kg under the ether narcosis intravenously in the jaguar vena. The
accumulation of HpD in the tumor was stu¬died in each animal
decapitated in 0,5, 3, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours. Cryostatic spieces
18-20 mkm. thick were prepared from the tumor; then they were
studied with microspectro-flowmetric methods, (a fluorescent mi-
croscope "LOMO", a meter from "OPTON"), HpD fluorescence
was exited by the light with = 400 nm, a probe N 14 with = 624
nm. The fluorescence intensity was measured qualitatively without
the fluorescence background and was calculated in relative units.
laser irradiation was performed by a semiconductor laser "UZOR"
(Ga-As) with the wavelength 890 nm. and the pulse power 5 wt.
• Results
LLLT was applied one time as well as many times; and it was done
both before HpD injection and after it. Each series of animals has
been divided into two groups;
they got different dosages of irradiation - minimal (0,03067 G/
cm2) and maximal (0,3067 G/cm2). In the first group animals were
injected only with HpD. They were controls. In the second series
animals were irra¬diated once immediately after HpD injection.
In the third series animals were irradiated twice: first time -im-
mediately after HpD injection, second time - in 30 min after the
first one. In the fourth series animals were irradiated once 30 min
before HpD injection. In the fifth series animals were irradiated
twice: the first time -1 day before HpD injection, the second time
- 30 min before HpD injection (Figure 13).

In the second and third series the accumulation of the prepara-
tion in the tumor practically does not differ of that in controls. In
the third series the accumulation was somewhat lower than in the
controls; however, the difference was not statistically significant.
Different dosages of irradiation practically did not inf¬luence the
preparation's accumulation. In the fourth and fifth series a signif-
icant reduction in this accumulation in the tumor has been found
out, and this phenomenon has been watched in all periods of inves-
tigation and the fluorescence intensity was almost similar. In these
series of investigations the quantity of the absorbed sensitizer de-
pended little on the dosage of irradiation, How eve, in the fifth and
fourth series it was found out that under the minimal dosage of
irradiation (0,03067 G/cm) the photo- sensitizer was accumulated
less than under the maximal one, The most interesting results are
presented in Table 3.
The graph presented helps to analyze results more effectively.

• Discussion
This research has been made by us on the base of our data obtained
for the analysis of LLR effect on inoculated tumors.
At first, taking into consideration the research made by T. Ohshiro
(30) we expected that LLR would increase the accumulation of
HpD and thus, it could, be used for the improvement of photody-
namic therapy effect. According to the theory LLR had to effect
the tumor blood circulation through changes in the vascular wall
and cellular membranes permeability. However, in the II and III
series of investigations when LLR was used after HpD injection
were did not observe any significant changes in the preparation ac-
cumulation and discharge comparing to the controls. We suggested
that those changes which had to take place after LLR had not de-
veloped yet. In the fourth series when LLR was made once before
HpD Injection the insignificant reduc¬tion of the preparation accu-
mulation in the tumor has been noted. In the fifth series when LLR
was made 24 hours before HpD injection a sharp reduction in the
quantity of photosensitizer in the tissue was found out; more over
during all periods of the investigation it was similar (Figure 13).
The preparation accumulation depended little on the irradi¬ation
dosage. However, in the fourth and fifth series under minimal dos-
ages the preparation accumulated less than under maximal ones.
Thus, the investigation made presented a clear picture of HpD ac-
cumulation in tumor tissue. The effect of laser therapy takes place
30 min after beginning and is characterized by a sharp reduction
of the preparation in tumor tissue. It could be explained both by
the impairments in the preparation's transport through the vascular
floe (to be more exact, through the capillary wall) and by the im-
pairments of that transport through the cellular membrane.
The reduction of the preparation's discharge out of cells irradiated
by laser in comparison to controls also supports this suggestion.
• Conclusions
1. Laser irradiation is the most effective when being per-
formed 30 min before the HpD injection. HpD accumu-
lation in tumor tissues is reduced by 111% in comparison
to controls
2. Changes in the accumulation of HpD and disturbances in
its release when using laser therapy are caused by chang-
es in permeability both in the capillary wall and in the
cell membrane.
3. Laser therapy after HpD injection does not influence the
preparation accumulation in tumor tissues.

• Aims of the Research
The general strategy of this work was the following:
1. To study how the use of LLLT affects the blood and im-
mune status of patients and determine the duration of the
effect of LLLT at different stages of the disease.
2. To determine how the use of LLLT can affect the quality
of life in patients with stage IV of disease.
3. How the use of LLLT influence on the efficiency of sur-
gery in patients with IIa-IIIa st.
4. To study what histological changes occur in tumor tissue
after using LT.
5. Compare the life expectancy of patients (II-III st.) with
surgical treatment and patients who received LLLT be-
fore and after surgery.
• Materials and Methods
All patients were divided into 3 groups:
1group - Only LLLT- in 57 patients (IV st.).
2 group - After combined treatment LLLT was used in 38 patients
(III st.).
12. clinicsofoncology.com 12
Volume 6 Issue 1 -2022 Research Article
3 group - With surgery LLLT was used in 41 patients (II-III st.).
Was used Ga As laser with frequency up to 3 000 Hz, power up
to 5 Wt.
We used some program of LLLT:
1. Programs to reduce pain (5 days)- irradiation on projection of
tumor and metastasis - with the dosage 1,53 J /cm2 (1 group)
2. Programs for immune stimulation (5 days) - irradiation on pro-
jection of immuno-producing organs with the total dosage 0,49 J /
cm2 (1,2 group).
3. Programs using LLLT before surgery (5days) -)- irradiation on
projection of tumor and lymphatic nodes with irradiation of pro-
jections of immuno-producing organs (3 group).
4. Programs using LLLT after surgery (2days) – irradiation postop-
erative suture and area of lymphatic nodes (3 group).
Analyses were made 1-2 days before laser rtherapy,1-2 days after
laser therapy and 4-5 days after surgery.
Comparative white blood count (leucocytes, lymphocytes, mono-
cytes) was carried out by the method of direct calculation 'under
a microscope in Gorjaev's chamber. Immunoglobulin components
(IgA, IgM, IgG) in blood serum were determined on the Ps-9
(Labsystems) T-lymphocytes were assayed according to Hasnill.
The determination of T-active rosette-formed lymphocytes (Trf),
T-helpers (Th), T-suppressors (Ts) was performed by a standard
technique (6).
Histological investigations have been conducted Prof. Frank G.A.
and Prof Voltchenko N.N.
Histological changes were divided into 4 degrees:
I degree - tumor parenchyma is alive, dystrophic changes in tu-
mors are seen.
II degree - the lager part of tumor parenchyma is alive, but market
necrotic and fibrotic foci were observed.
III degree - more then 50% of tumors parenchyma disappeared due
to necrotic and fibrotic foci.
IV degree - total tumor resorbtion.
4.2. Results of using LLLT in patients with IV st. of Breast
cancer (57 patients)
In this part of our study, we wanted to find out how the use of
LLLT affects the hematological and immunological status of pa-
tients and how LLLT affects the quality of life of this category of
patients. These patients received LLLT when for one or another
reason combined treatment was not carried out or after the com-
bined treatment with the progression of the process.
All patients were separated on 3 groups:
I group – patients with pain syndrome - metastasis in bones, ster-
num, spinal cord (18 patients).
II group- patients with loco-regional metastasis (19 patients).
III group- patients with loco-regional and remote metastasis (20
patients).
On age structure the patients of skilled groups were distributed as
follows (Table 4).
According to histology diagnosis patients were distributed as fol-
lows (Table 5).
After statistical processing dynamics of crates of "white" blood
looked as follows (Table 6).
Taking into account, that the definition of immunoglobulins was
defined in various laboratories on various techniques, we bring
standard units of the rather normal contents of immunoglobulins
(Table 7).
Dynamics of fractions of T-lymphocytes of the patients with Breast
cancer IV stage received LLLT looked as follows (Table 8).
The statistical processing of the received results has shown reli-
ability of changes on the basic parameters, except for parameters
marked - *. Changes of these parameters more evidently can be
expressed graphically.
Changes in various blood parameters were most significant in the
II group Leucocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes reacted on la-
ser therapy their increasing.
Dynamics Ig A has shown, that laser therapy increased their num-
ber in 4,84 times. Ig M reacted on laser therapy in 9,79 time their
increasing. Ig G increased in 5 time.
In I and III groups these changes were not so reliable.
Changes of active Т- lymphocytes was characterized by their in-
crease in II and III groups.
It was found reliable increasing T rf. and T help. The ratio of T
supr. was decreased significantly.
A survey of patients of all groups showed that the most reliable
improvement in well-being can be noted in 17% of patients, reduc-
tion of pain syndrome in 12% of patients, normalization of sleep in
7%, improvement of appetite in 2% of patients. At the same time,
38% of patients had a change in their state of health, the remaining
62% of patients did not notice a change in their state of health.

4.3. Results of using LLLT in patients with III st. of Breast
cancer (38 patients)
In this part of our study, we wanted to find out how patients with
a long period of remission respond to laser therapy. We studied
the dynamics of blood parameters, immunoglobulins and various
classes of T- lymphocytes.
On age structure the patients of skilled groups were distributed as
follows (Table 9).
As it is visible from the table the essential distinctions in age struc-
ture in all groups were not.
According to histology diagnosis the patients were distributed as
follows (Table 10).
After statistical processing dynamics of crates of "white" blood
looked as follows (Table 11).
Taking into account, that the definition of immunoglobulins was
defined in various laboratories on various techniques, we bring

(Table 12).
Dynamics of fractions of T-lymphocytes of the patients with Breast
cancer III st. received LLLT looked as follows (Table 13).
The statistical processing of the received results has shown reli-
ability of changes on the basic parameters, except for parameters
marked - *.
Dynamics of the immunoglobulins at the patients, which received
laser therapy marked the following tendency: Dynamics of Ig A
has shown, that the laser therapy influence their quantity: prior to
the beginning use of LLLT — +10±7,21, after the ending of LLLT
– +46,8,1. Laser therapy increased the amount Ig A more than 4
times.
Ig М changed with - +2,34 up to + 7±1,61 after laser therapy. Laser
therapy increased the number Ig M more than 10 times.
The initial parameters Ig G increased after laser therapy from
norm, till 7±0,23.
Thus, laser therapy significantly increased the amount Ig A and
IgM. The changes Ig G were unreliable.
Changes of active Т- lymphocytes (Trf.) was characterized by their
increase with 500±95,7 up to 540±159,8 after laser therapy.
The change of Т-help was characterized by their increase with
175±55,3 up to 240±11,9 after laser therapy.
The quantity of T-supr. decreased from 250±21 till 235±87,79 after
laser therapy. But these changes were unreliable.
Studies have shown, that patients with III st. of Breast cancer (re-
mission stage) react to laser therapy by increasing the number of
lymphocytes, Ig A and Ig M and increasing the number of active
T-lymphocytes, T help. and T supr.

4.4. Results of treatment in patients with IIa-IIIa st. Breast
cancer treated by combination of LLLT and surgery (10-year
experience).
• Materials and Methods
LLLT was performed in 41 patients with conformed diagnosis of
breast cancer IIa -IIIa st., control group had 40 patients.
Distribution of age was from 37-76 years and in the experimental
and controls group was more or less similar.
Used GaAs laser with frequency up to 3 000 Hz, power up to 5 Wt.
Before surgery LLLT was used during 5 days
After surgery LLLT was used on all patients during the 2 days
from the start of treating. Postoperative suture was irradiation in
total dosage 0,041 J/cm2. Area, of lymphatic nodes was irradiation
with the total dosage 0,006 J/cm2.
Later LLLT was used in 3,6,12,18,24 months during 5 days each
time like it was done in the I group of patients.
Comparative white blood count (leucocytes, lymphocytes, mono-
cytes) was carried out by the method of direct calculation 'under a
microscope in Gorjaiv's chamber.
Immunoglobulin components (IgA, IgM, IgG) in blood serum
were determined on the Ps-9 (Labsystems) T-lymphocytes were
assayed according to Hasnill.
The determination of T-active rosette-formed lymphocytes (Trf),
T-helpers (Th), T-suppressors (Ts) was performed by a standard
technique.
Analyses were made 1-2 days before laser therapy, 1-2 days after
the therapy and on the 4-5 day after surgery.
All Patients were divided into 3 Groups:
I group – patients with irradiations of projections of organs asso-
ciated with the immune system with the total dosage 0,49 J/ cm2
(4 patients).
II group – patients with irradiations of projections of organs as-
sociated with the immune system with the total dosage 0,49 J/cm2
and irradiation of tumor projections and lymphatic nodes with the
dosage 0,24-0,46 J/ cm2 (4 patients).
III group – patients with irradiations of organs associated with the
immune system with the total dosage 0,49 J/ cm2 and irradiations
of the tumor projections and lymphatic nodes with the dosage 0,46
-1,53 J/ cm2 (33 patients). In this group LLLT was used after
surgery on the 1 day (duration 2 days). Postoperative suture was
irradiation in total dosage 0,041J/cm2
Area of lymphatic nodes was irradiation with total dosage 0,006
J/ cm2
Histologic changes were divided into 4 degrees:
I degree – parenchyma of the tumor is alive, degenerative changes
in tumor parenchyma are seen.
II degree – the larger part of tumor parenchyma is alive, but
marked necrotic and fibrotic foci were observed.
III degree – more than 50% tumor parenchyma disappeared due to
necrotic and fibrotic foci.
IV degree – total tumor resorption.
• Results of Clinical Investigations
LLLT was performed in 41 patients with conformed diagnosis of
IIa - IIIa st. breast cancer; control group included 40 patients. Dis-
tribution patients on age was from 37 till 76 years (Table 14).
According to the stage of disease patients were divided the follow-
ing way (Table 15).
All patients had to undergo surgery operations. The great part of
patients had Mammectomy by Holsted (LLLT group – 73,1%, in
control group – 77,5%) (Table 16).
Parameters of "white" blood during 2 years after surgery show the
following changes: in blood of patients who had LLLT leucocytes
increased by 16,72% in comparison with initial level. In control
group leucocytes decreased after surgery by 25,82% in compar-
ison with initial level. After 3 months over surgery LLLT leuco-
cytes normalized till normal level. In the control group leucocytes
increased up to the initial level only after 2 years over surgery
operation.
Increase of lymphocytes after LLLT added to surgery operation
reached 39,16% over initial level of Lymphocytes. Increase of
lymphocytes after surgery without LLLT reached them by 33,3%
higher than initial level. Lymphocytes reacted on LLLT by increas-
ing their count during 18 months after surgery.
The peculiarity of the reaction of monocytes on LLLT was their
significant increase by 50% from the initial level during 6 months
after 3 courses of LLLT. Laser therapy increased count of mono-
16. clinicsofoncology.com 16
Volume 6 Issue 1 -2022 Research Article
cytes up to 24 months after surgery. In the control group after sur-
gery monocytes changes were non-significant, only in 12 months
these data returned to the initial level.
Dynamics of the Immunoglobulins G fraction after surgery and
LLLT could be characterized by increasing on 9,94% with the fol-
lowing decreasing of Ig G fraction to the normal level up to 6
months after surgery. In the control group after surgery decreased
the number of Ig G lower than the normal data and only in 12
months these data returned to the normal level.
Reaction of the Immunoglobulins M fraction after surgery and
LLLT increased during all observation period that lasted 12
months. In the control group their dynamics was difficult to ex-
plain because due to highly spread results in all patients.
Changes in Immunoglobulins A fraction after surgery and LLLT
were non-significant. In the control group after surgery count of
IgA decreased slightly.
Subpopulation of Trf lymphocytes after surgery and LLLT reacted
by their increasing up to 89,65%. Subpopulation of Trf only after
surgery was higher by 22,45% than the initial data. Using LLLT
during 24 months increased these data by 37,14% in the average.
Subpopulation of Th increased after surgery and LLLT by
107,35%. Subpopulation of Th after surgery without LLLT in-
creased their number by 29,4% higher than the initial level and
only in 12 months returned to the initial level. In postoperative
period LLLT increased count of Th up to 12 months after surgery,
afterwards these changes were non-significant.
Reaction of LLLT on Subpopulation of Ts sowed more evident
increase. After surgery with added LLLT their number increased
by 82,5% higher from the initial level. Even in 2 years after sur-
gery and LLLT the number of Ts kept by 90% from the initial
level. In the control group after surgery without LLLT number of
Ts decreased by 11,5% and after 3 months this data returned to the
initial level. The assessment of the postoperative period and the
number of early and late complications after LLLT and surgery
are presented in (Table 17). Received analyses show that LLLT
considerably decreases the number of postoperative complications
in comparison to the controls.
More substantial histological investigations were done in 12 pa-
tients - 11 patients had invasion ductus cancer, 1 patient – colloid
cancer.
In I group: 3 cases had no signs of treatment pathomorphosis, but
in 2 cases of them were signs of limphoid-histiocytoid infiltration.
In 1 patient limphoid-histiocytoid infiltration was more marked.
In II group: patients had predominantly the I-II degrees of cura-
tive damages: cancer nodes had necrotic foci, as a rule of a small
size. In one case - in the necrotic zone microcirculatory distur-
bances (erythrostasis, hemorrage), cells detritus and large number
of mitosis (>10 in the field of vision, magnification 400).
In III group: In 2 patients I-II degrees of curative damage was
predominantly seen. In 1 patient with colloid cancer changes were
cellule less "lakes" of mucin. However, the larger part of paren-
chyma was preserved, practically without significant dystrophic
changes. In all 3 patients in cancer cells a large number of mitosis
(>10 in the field of vision, magnification 400). In 1 case - chang-
es in cancer cells were interpreted as the III degree of the dam-
ages: the larger part of the tumor parenchima was necrotized; in
the preserved cells dystrophic changes were significant; cells were
enlarged in their volume due to light vaculysation of cytoplasma;
nuclei were picnomorphic (Figure 14).
The main criteria of efficiency treatment in all groups - is the pro-
longation of their lives. Analysis has shown that the survival in 10
years after the treatment was the following (Table 18).
As one can see after 5 years - LLLT increases the number of the
survived patients with the IIa st. by 14,29% compared to the con-
trol group. With the IIIa stage - by 15,46%. The main criteria for
the treatment - the number the patients without recurrences. After
LLLT number of patients with IIa st. increased by 13,53% com-
pared to the control group. In patients with IIIa stage - by 22, 35%
comparing to the controls.
After10 years - LLLT increased the number of the survived pa-
tients with the IIa st. by 10,71% compared to the control group.
With the IIIa stage - by 5,6%. The main criteria for the treatment
- the number the patients without recurrences. After LLLT number
of patients with IIa st. increased by 9,59% compared to the con-
trol group. Patients with IIIa stage - by 10,5% comparing to the
controls.

• Discussion of The Results
The data obtained confirm our suggestions about the efficiency of
laser therapy in oncologic patients. Our experimental study shows
that manipulating with regimes and doses of laser beam one can
get both the inhibition of the tumor growth and the stimulation of
the immune system (2,3,10,20). The effect of LLLT has a mul-
tifunctional character. We consider that one can speak about the
increase of the functional activity of cells of the immune system
(3,7,9,10,) determined, by their quantitative growth (5), as well as
about changes in cellular membrane transport and microcirculato-
ry impairments (15).
Now, let us analyze how the results obtained correlate with the ex-
perimental and theoretic studies. During laser therapy one can ob-
serve a genera1 increase of leucocytes and lymphocytes number.
It can be explained how the release of these cells from the im-
mune-producing organs and the organs in which these cells are
18. clinicsofoncology.com 18
Volume 6 Issue 1 -2022 Research Article
deposited. Where the stimulation of the functional activity of the
immune cells begins. An interesting peculiarity of the immune re-
sponse is that the lymphocytes react to laser irradiation almost one
year after the surgery, while in the control group suppressive effect
was seen up to 1,5-2 years (3, 10, 12). The increase of monocytes
reaction in 6 months after the surgery signifies that along with im-
munity specific factors the macrophage system with its nonspecific
character begins to act as well.
Changes in immunoglobulin fraction shows that laser beam mostly
effects on IgG and Ig. M.
A great increase of IgG most likely means the increased release
of antibodies. It can be caused both by the organism increased re-
action to tumor growth and by changes in the antigenic structure.
Besides, if IgG have receptors to T-killers, indirectly it means their
increase. It is important to underline that the reaction of this class
of Ig. to laser impact preserves 18 months after the surgery.
IgM react to LLLT immediately after the surgery and almost one
year after it. If one can explain the increase of IgM immediately
after the surgery as the reaction to surgical trauma, then the laser
increase of IgM can be explained by the activation of B-lympho-
cytes system to which IgM have their receptors.
The peculiarity of T-lymphocytes reaction to laser irradiation lies
on a reliable increase of T-rf number during the whole follow-up
period (24 months). T-helpers were reliably increasing only one
year after the surgery. Further sessions of LLLT did not cause
reliable changes in this cell fraction. T-suppressors responded to
laser therapy during the whole observation period; they increased
by 54, 4% in average as compared to the initial data (10,12,13).
However, the most important, to our mind, is the fact that for this
group of patients surgery was not such a powerful stress leading to
the suppression of all protective system as it was for the patients
from the control group. Thus, in the controls, the suppressive ef-
fect of the surgery was seen 12 months later: T-rf normalized only
12 month after the surgery; T-help. - in 12 months; T-suppressors
- in 6 month (1,6).
Reduction of postoperative complications by 15,28% after LLLT
is caused, to our mind, not only by the immunity stimulation, but
by the local antiinflammatory effect of laser therapy as well. No
doubt, various regimes of laser therapy depending on frequency
and dose of irradiation produce various effects. Thus, adequate
dosage can cause both the improvement of microcirculation at the
irradiated site, if it is necessary, and its damage (16,18). Less late
postmastectomy edema in the group of LLLT treated patients can
be explained by the fact that lymphodrainage was compensated by
better microcirculation and vessels formation after laser therapy.
Thus, severe postmasectomy edema, which develops after me-
chanic injury of large lymphatic vessels, and collateral insufficien-
cy are equal in the experimental group and in the controls because
laser therapy in the given case could not be effective.
Histologic analysis confirmed the importance of LLLT application
in treating immunocompetent zones, because in the intact tumor
which was not irradiated with laser, one can see the increase of
lymphoid-histiocytic infiltration in the tumor parenchima. Direct
irradiation of tumor projection with the total dose 0,24-0,46 J/cm2
caused the I-II degree of curative pathomorphosis. Increase of the
dose for the direct irradiation of tumour projection up to 0,46-1,53
J/cm2 confirmed the development of curative pathomorphosis of
the I-II degree; in one case changes in a laser treated tumor were
evaluated as curative pathomorphosis of the III degree (15,16,17).
The results of experimental and clinical studies have allowed us to
explain the mechanism of action of laser therapy when exposed to
various types of tumors and to form the basic principles of its use
(3,4,5,6,7,8).
The long-term results of the use of laser therapy in breast cancer
have confirmed our theoretical and practical developments. Our
accumulated experience has allowed us to develop more effective
treatment regimens. Over the past 10 years, we have significantly
increased the pulse power to 100 watts and fundamentally changed
the modes of using laser therapy in cancer patients (11).
5. Conclusion
1. Investigations of LLR effect on different types of im-
planted and spontaneous tumors have shown that this
treatment can be used for tumor-static effect and for in-
creasing life-span in animals.
2. Studies of the LLLR effect on inoculated tumors of var-
ious types have shown that LLLR can be used in com-
bination with chemotherapeutic agents for achieving tu-
mors-static action.
3. Changes in the accumulation of HpD and disturbances in
its release when using laser therapy are caused by chang-
es in permeability both in the capillary wall and in the
cell membrane.
4. Laser therapy leads to stimulation of immunologic sys-
tem in patients with IIa- Ia, III and IV st. breast cancer.
That makes it possible to decrease a number of postopera-
tive complications by 15,28 % relatively to control group
and improves the quality of life.
5. Histologic study shows that direct irradiations of tumor
projection may lead to appearance treatment pathomor-
phosis up to III st. degree (more than 50% tumor paren-
chyma disappeared due to necrotic and fibrotic foci).
6. Laser therapy improves 10 year results of patients sur-
vival with IIa st. of disease by 10,71% and with IIIa st.
by 5,65% relatively to control data. After laser therapy
use the cases without recidives increased by 9,59% in
patients with IIa st. of disease and on 10,5% in patients
with IIIa st. comparing to the controls.
