Background and Methods. Thirty-nine roentgenologically occult lung cancers in 29 patients were treated using photodynamic therapy (PDT) and/or thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) from January 1986 to March 1992. With the exception of one mixed-tumor case, all were squamous cell carcinomas. Results. Initial
Background and Objectives: PDT induces apoptosis, inflammatory reactions, immune reactions, and damage to the microvasculature around the tumors. The mechanisms responsible for the anticancer effects of Photofrin-PDT and NPe6-PDT differ somewhat. To select a photosensitizer for lung cancer treatment
