Abstract: Since 1984, we have been studying the experimental studies of endoscopic local hyperthermia with low power Nd-YAG laser irradiation by using frosted probe. In consequence, we developed the computed hyperthermia system. According to our studies, maintenance of the temperature at the therapeutic level (43-43.5°C) in the canine stomach was easy by using this system. When the distance between the frosted probe and the thermosensor stuck into tissue was about 6mm, tissue temperature was controlled to be nearly 43.5°C within an area from 10mm in diameter.Experimental gastric tumor about 30mm in diameter in the beagle stomach was fade into a shallow ulceration gradually after 4 sessions for 10 weeks.It was suggested in our studies that the endoscopic local hyperthermia (laserthermia) with low power Nd-YAG laser irradiation would be able to treat the gastrointestinal neoplasms.
