Light up the Future – a New Paradigm: Photobiomodulation as a Non-Surgical Cancer Treatment Modality: a Case Report

Abstract

Non Functioning Pituitary Macroadenoma (NFPA) comprise about 80% of all pituitary macroadenomas. NFPAs are frequently found incidentally during imaging studies performed for unrelated reasons.Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a non-evasive technique that uses certain wavelengths of light to restore, repair, and protect tissue that is either injured, degenerating, or at risk of dying. It has the ability to promote the body’s own immune responses and are able to penetrate into the cells, tissues, blood, nerves, the brain, and into the bones. Perhaps besides radical surgical approach, we could explore adjuvant methods of treatments to complement this. In conclusion, PBM might be introduced as an adjunct treatment option for patients with brain tumour, non-operable brain lesions or those who declined radical surgery and opted for active surveillance.This case report highlightsphotobiomodulation antitumourigenesis effects in reduction of pituitary tumour volume.
