## Abstract The widespread acceptance of photodynamic therapy (PDT), a potential adjuvant brain tumor therapy under clinical evaluation since 1980, has been partially restrained by its potential toxicity toward normal brain tissue. This study examined PDTβproduced injury of normal rat brain as a fu
## 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
## 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
Background and Objective: High-grade gliomas are characterized by rapid proliferation, angiogenesis, and invasive growth. Eradication or inhibition of infiltrating glioma cells poses a significant clinical challenge that is unlikely to be solved using conventional treatment regimens consisting of io
