## Abstract The incidence of esophageal cancer has increased dramatically in the Western population in the last two decades. Many of these patients tend to present late in the disease course with symptoms of dysphagia and malnutrition. Thus a majority of patients at presentation may require palliat

## Abstract ## Background and Objective A human glioma spheroid model is used to investigate the efficacy of different light delivery schemes in 5βaminolevulinic acid (ALA)βmediated photodynamic therapy (PDT). The results provide the rationale for the development of an indwelling balloon applicato
PDT has been reported to induce cancer cell expression of cytokines, such as IL-6 and TNF-alpha, but it has been unclear whether cytokine expression by cancer cells is directly related to the antitumor effect of PDT. We treated Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells with a new photosensitizer, mono-L-aspa
It has often been claimed that photodynamic therapy (PDT) produces selective destruction of small cancers without affecting the adjacent normal tissue. The objective of our work was to treat small cancers of the oral cavity with PDT and subsequently excise the treated areas for histological studies
