[Low-intensity laser therapy in pediatric oncology].

Application of low-intensity laser radiotherapy (LILR) allowed to cut down time needed for management of radiation injury and chemotherapy complications in pediatric patients 1.5-2-fold. It was shown that exposure to LIILR caused mononuclear (MN) levels of donors' blood to rise which in turn led to release, in higher concentrations, of IL-1 and FNO cytokins, major factors of immune response development.

[Low-intensity lasers in pediatric oncology].

The paper outlines the outcomes of treatment for complications associated with chemo- and radiation therapy in children with malignant neoplasms by using low-intensity laser radiation. The use of this therapy may reduce the duration of treatment of these complications by 1.5-2 times.
