## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The aim of the current clinical study was to evaluate the in vivo fluorescence detection of ovarian carcinoma metastases in a second‐look laparoscopic procedure after intraperitoneally applied 5‐aminolevulinic acid (ALA). ## METHODS Five hours before laparoscopic surger
## Abstract ## Background and Objective The clinical usefulness of 5‐ALA guided detection of tumor tissue has been demonstrated for a number of malignancies. However, current techniques of intraoperative detection of protoporphyrin IX fluorescence in situ do not offer subcellular resolution. There
Background and Objective: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) using 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-induced protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) for sensitization is a promising treatment for carcinoma in situ and diffuse premalignant changes of the bladder. We studied the biodistribution of PpIX in a range of tissues with
