## Background and objective: Liposomes as photosensitizer carriers may enhance the photodynamic effect on tumors. ## Study design/materials and methods: To test this hypothesis, we treated u87 human glioma in rat brain with photodynamic therapy (pdt) using photofrin encapsulated in a liposome car
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives As a potential therapy for malignant glioma, we tested the phthalocyanine photosensitizer Pc 4 for: (1) rapid clearance from the vasculature, (2) specificity for glioma, and (3) tumoricidal photosensitizing capability. ## Study Design/Materials and Methods
