Possibilities are studied of using radiation of a copper vapor laser for prophylaxis of radiative aggravations in patients suffering from head and/or neck tumours. 114 Such patients were treated. A Malakhit laser was used for this study. It was shown that treating patients with laser radiation significantly reduces radiation reactions of skin and mucous membranes, so that a full course of radiation therapy may be performed without any forced breaks and treatment of maladies of epidermis and epithelium caused by radiation may be shortened.
