## Background: Screening for cervical carcinoma and its precursors is based on cervical cytology and diagnostic colposcopy. despite the decrease in the incidence of cervical carcinoma in countries with a good screening program, this rate of decline is leveling off. known problems are false-negative

Photodynamic therapy and photodynamic diagnosis help to support efficient treatment of superficial and early-stage cancer. During the last few years, 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), a precursor of haemoglobin in the haem biosynthetic pathway, was used to stimulate endogenous porphyrin production. In
## 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
