## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy appears to be enhanced in the presence of an intact immune system and PDT has been shown to augment antiβtumor immunity. The mechanisms leading to the enhancement of the host immune response to tumor are unclear. Antiβtum

After presensitization with IV hematoporphyrin derivative (HpD). neoplasms in the tracheobronchial tree of 18 patients were treated by photodynamic therapy (PDT) with 630-nm light from a tunable dye argon laser system delivered through quartz fibers passed through the biopsy channel of a flexible br
Effective antitumor photodynamic therapy (PDT) may be related to damage of vasculature within the tumor. The purpose of this study was to determine if tumor cells secrete factors that stimulate proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HU-VEC) and result in enhanced sensitivity of HUV
