Abstract

A method for in vivo treatment of tumorous tissues on body surfaces that comprises the step of irradiating said tissues by polarized light of predetermined intensity, this polarized light predominantly includes wavelength components exceeding 300 nm and substantially excludes ultraviolet components. A new use of a light source emitting polarized light includes the application of said light source for irradiating tumorous tissues on body surfaces.
