How was the outcome of the first patient?
Dr. Barnett: The patient did very well. Unfortunately, the tumor progressed elsewhere a few months down the road. During the procedure, are you basically cooking these tumors? Dr. Barnett: That’s more or less what we’re doing, but we’re doing it in a very controlled, precise way. What type of laser do you use in the procedure? Dr. Barnett: It is called a diode laser, which means it’s a solid state laser. It’s actually invisible, but it produces infrared heat, which then causes the tissue next to it to heat up.
