Background. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is being evaluated for treatment of localized head and neck cancer. ''Light dose'' is usually prescribed as incident fluence, which takes no account of reflected and scattered light. This study investigates variations in total tissue fluence for a given inciden
## Background and objective: Under standardized conditions (drug and light dose, timing), the result of the photodynamic therapy (pdt) of carcinomas of the esophagus with tetra(meta-hydroxyphenyl)chlorin (mthpc) shows large variations between patients. ## Study design/materials and methods: Befor
