laser 635–670 Between 0.04 and 4.8 H.Ep.2 cells (malignant cells) LLLT with 670 nm could significantly increase proliferation of laryngeal cancer cells. Whereas 635 nm wavelength does not stimulate significantly cells proliferation [45]

  1. Cell lines (DOK cell line: Dysplastic oral keratinocytes; SCC-9 and SCC-25: oral squamous cell carcinoma cell lines; H.Ep.2 cells (SCC type 2) originate from laryngeal carcinomas, Cell line FRO: human anaplastic thyroid cells, ASTC a 1/A549: human lung adenocarcinoma cell line, B16F10: murine melanoma cells)
  2. LLLT: low level laser therapy, LILI: low-intensity laser irradiation, IR: ionizing radiation CW: continuous wave, HF-LPLI: high fluence low-power laser irradiation
