This systematic review analyzed various studies to evaluate the safety and efficacy of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) in cancer patients.
The included studies comprised human clinical trials, animal experiments, and cell-based experiments, with diverse PBMT parameters (wavelength, energy density) and treatment durations.
PBMT appears to be generally safe for the prevention and management of cancer treatment–related complications, and in some cases may have a positive impact on overall patient survival; however, further research is needed.
