Background and Objective: Photodynamic therapy has been shown to be an effective treatment modality for surface-oriented neoplasms of the skin, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and urogenital systems. The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of photodynamic therapy using a new p

Chest wall recurrences are a frequent problem in patients treated by mastectomy for breast cancer. Surgery and ionizing radiation are established treatment modalities in these cases. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) provides an alternative treatment modality using a photosensitizer and laser light to indu
Coupling of photosensitizers to tumor-selective monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) is an attractive option for improving the selectivity of photodynamic therapy (PDT). For this purpose, hydrophilic sensitizers would be most suitable because of their solubility in water. However, such sensitizers are known
The properties of a new photosensitizer, meso-tetrahydroxyphenyl-chlorin (mTHPC), were studied using W9 cells (Chinese-hamster lung fibroblasts). Comparisons were made with 2 other photosensitizers: photofrin II (PII) and meso-tetrahydroxyphenyl-porphyrin (mTHPP). A main advantage of mTHPC is that i
