Preferred Label : AuroLase Therapy;
NCIt synonyms : AuroLase;
NCIt definition : An ultra-focal tissue ablation therapy that utilizes optical tunability of nanoshell
particles that generate heat in response to near-infrared wavelengths of light to
thermally destroy solid tumors without damaging adjacent healthy tissue. The particles
are delivered intravenously and accumulate in the tumor. Then the tumor is illuminated
with a near-infrared laser, destroying the tumor and the blood vessels supplying it
and sparing adjacent tissue.;
