“…Optical prescreening (Fig. 5) would be built on the intrinsic breast tissue optical properties using either absorption 81 or fluorescence properties 82 or both, 83 or on optical coherence spectroscopy. 84 Here, in particular, the work of the Turino 85,86 and Toronto 81,[87][88][89] groups have demonstrated the ability to identify women with known physical risk factors, such as MBD 79,90,91 or biological event linked to the development of breast cancer, such as glandular atrophy during permenopause and postmenopause.…”

Medical laser applications based on widespread research and development is a very dynamic and increasingly popular field from an ecological as well as an economic point of view. Conferences and personal communication are necessary to identify specific requests and potential unmet needs in this multi- and interdisciplinary discipline. Precise gathering of all information on innovative, new, or renewed techniques is necessary to design medical devices for introduction into clinical applications and finally to become established for routine treatment or diagnosis. Five examples of successfully addressed clinical requests are described to show the long-term endurance in developing light-based innovative clinical concepts and devices. Starting from laboratory medicine, a noninvasive approach to detect signals related to iron deficiency is shown. Based upon photosensitization, fluorescence-guided resection had been discovered, opening the door for photodynamic approaches for the treatment of brain cancer. Thermal laser application in the nasal cavity obtained clinical acceptance by the introduction of new laser wavelengths in clinical consciousness. Varicose veins can be treated by innovative endoluminal treatment methods, thus reducing side effects and saving time. Techniques and developments are presented with potential for diagnosis and treatment to improve the clinical situation for the benefit of the patient.
