Background and Objectives: PDT induces apoptosis, inflammatory reactions, immune reactions, and damage to the microvasculature around the tumors. The mechanisms responsible for the anticancer effects of Photofrin-PDT and NPe6-PDT differ somewhat. To select a photosensitizer for lung cancer treatment
Twelve central bronchial carcinoma patients and two gastrointestinal (GI) tract (oesophageal and colonic) early-stage cancer patients were treated with photodynamic therapy (PDT). Haematoporphyrin (HP/5, Jacopo Monico, Italy) at a dose of 5 mg kg-1 body weight was used as photosensitizer. Laser ligh
