Background and Objective: 5-Aminolevulinic acid-induced protoporphyrin IX is a promising photosensitizer that could enhance the spectroscopic contrast between normal and diseased oral tissues. Knowledge of the pharmacokinetics and effects on tissue type are important for diagnostic and therapeutic p

## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Studies of 5‐aminolevulinic acid‐induced protoporphyrin IX fluorescence have shown a sensitivity of 95–100% for oral cancer diagnosis, but the specificity is only about 50–60%. Here, we explore the applicability of quantifying PPIX fluorescence images to im

When 5-aminolevulinic acid ( ALA ) is administered topically, intravenously or intraperitoneally to tumor-bearing animals or humans, tumor selective production of protoporphyrin IX ( PpIX ) is frequently observed. Several biophysical, biochemical and physiological factors explain this tumor selectiv
