Interstitial Laser Photocoagulation

This technique involves the insertion of a thin optical fiber into the center of the liver tumor and a laser light is emitted from the tip. The exposed cells will then undergo thermal necrosis. Since clinical experience with this technique are few, more studies are required before this treatment can be recommended.
