ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus of irradiating a treatment area within a body includes introducing elongated flexible radiation transfer conduit (fiberoptic arrays) into the body cavity with the distal end thereof operatively opposite the treatment area. At the other end of the conduit there is photoelectrically sensed a particular optical characteristic of the treatment area (such as fluorescence) and as long as the particular optical characteristic is sensed there is periodically transmitted laser pulses via the conduit to the treatment site.
