Background and Objectiue: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a recently developed endoscopic method for treating malignant tumors. For obtaining more photodynamic action with less thermal effect, we employed as the excitation light source for PDT an excimer dye laser, which is a pulsed laser with extreme
## BACKGROUND. Electroporation is a process that causes a transient increase in the permeability of cell membranes. It can be used to increase the intracellular concentration of chemotherapeutic agents in tumor cells (electrochemotherapy; ECT). A clinical study was initiated to determine if this m
