Abstract

Regional immune response with mammary gland carcinoma was
studied statistically. However, the prognostic value remains
conflicting. Thirty mice were used in this study which infected
were with mammary gland carcinoma. The tumor size of the animals
under study were measured before and after laser irradiation by using
a vernier and compared these results were with that of non irradiated
animals with laser (control group)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of low level laser
therapy (LLLT) on increasing the response of immune system by
stimulating the lymph node action to decrease the cancer cell activity
and then decreasing the tumor size of an infected mice.
The results of the gross observations showed enlargement in the
irradiated lymph node in comparison with that of non irradiated ones.
It could be said that the enlargement which occurred to this lymph
node proved that there was an increase in immune response by using
laser stimulation.
From this study, it can be concluded that the LLLT was an efficient
tool in stimulating the defense cells found in the lymph node that
attack the cancer cells
locally. The result of this phenomenon
demonstrates the decrease of the tumor size of the irradiated infected
mice
Introduction
Lymph nodes are encapsulated spherical or kidney-shaped
organs. The nodes are found in the axilla and the groin, along the great
