Apparatus and method for performing interstitial laser therapy and adjunctive
therapy on a patient are revealed. The apparatus employs a combination of a mammography
unit, an interstitial laser treatment device attached to the mammography unit and
a treatment platform positioned relative to the mammography unit to enable the
interstitial laser therapy to be performed. The use of the treatment platform with
the mammography unit enables the interstitial laser therapy to be performed and,
if necessary, adjunctive therapy to be performed in the same treatment room without
transferring the patient to a new platform.
