Lasers Inside The Body: Ultrasound-Guided Regeneration & Oncology | Ep 05 with Dr. Leonard Kaplan
How do you turn an "inoperable" tumor into a surgical success story? How do you repair a torn meniscus in a single visit?
In this episode, Robert sits down with Dr. Leonard Kaplan, an interventional regenerative medicine specialist who is rewriting the rules of what’s possible with light.
Dr. Kaplan breaks down his evolution from standard injection therapy to Ultrasound-Guided Interstitial Laser, a technique that allows him to place fiber optics directly inside damaged joints and deep tumors.
We discuss the "physics of depth," why 5-FU chemotherapy works better with UV light, and the incredible case study of a patient who swallowed a laser catheter to shrink a massive chest tumor.
In this episode, we cover:
- The "One-Shot" Protocol: Why adding laser to PRP reduces treatments from 6 sessions to just 1.
- Interventional Oncology: Using ultrasound to create a "grid" of laser needles for treating breast and liver tumors.
- The "Impossible" Thymoma: How a trans-nasal esophageal laser (swallowed catheter) shrunk a tumor by 70%.
- Chemo Synergy: Using UV laser during 5-FU infusions to treat colorectal cancer.
- Nerve Repair: Trans-illuminating the sciatic nerve to fix entrapment and scarring.
- Brain Optimization: A case study on reversing "Brain Fog" and increasing executive function scores by 23% in 3 days.
Dr. Leonard Kaplan is a board-certified specialist in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and the founder of OWM Integrative Wellness in Buffalo, NY. He is a pioneer in ultrasound-guided regenerative procedures, combining biologics (stem cells, PRP) with interstitial photodynamic therapy.
