β¦ Synopsis
Visual function for ten patients undergoing HPD-PRT was tested using 1) the Graham Field Eye Chart for distance vision, 2) pseudo-isochromatic plates for color vision, and 3) Amsler grid for changes in macular function. Whereas some increases and decreases in ocular function were observed, no clear patterns or changes of significance were observed.

Two patients were treated at 20 different tumor sites by hematoporphyrin derivative (HPD) photoradiation therapy (PRT). An infrared detector was used to record changes in surface temperature during laser exposure. A temperature rise of up to 4.9 degrees C was recorded for a total energy of 15-30 J/c
This update of the experience at the University of California at Irvine with laser photoradiation therapy (PRT) encompasses the period between May 1981 and June 1983. The results of treatment of 77 patients are reported (head and neck, 39; breast, 33; and lung 5). Head and neck cancer patients recei
The authors performed a Phase I study to assess the toxicity and hematologic effect of recombinant human interleukin-2 (rIL-2) in seven children with advanced malignancies. The rIL-2 was given as a bolus injection of 1 or 3 X lo6 U/m2/dose three times a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) for 3 wee
