RESUMO
Experimental data concerning the action of low-energy (nondamaging) laser radiation on the malignant cells in vitro and on animal tumours are reviewed. It is shown that under certain conditions the helium-neon and helium-cadmium laser radiation inhibits the tumour cell growth. This inhibition may be mediated by the activation of the organism protection mechanisms. The encouraging results of the application of the low-energy laser radiation in the complex treatment of oncological patients are presented.

The treatment of some non-oncological and then oncological patients was undertaken on the basis of the results obtained by laser blood irradiation (a helium-neon laser, the wavelength of 0.633 micron) in the tumour-bearing mice. The method was applied to 25 patients with the cancer of cervix uteri after their radiotherapy and resulted in the stimulation of their hemopoietic and immunologic systems.
