The exact mechanism by which photodynamic therapy (PDT) causes tumor destruction has not been elucidated. Early reports indicated that PDT causes direct cellular effects probably mediated by unstable oxygen species, resulting in cellular oxidation and death. More recently, PDT effects on tumor blood

## Abstract ## Purpose: To examine diffusionβweighted MRI (DWβMRI) for assessing the early tumor response to photodynamic therapy (PDT). ## Materials and Methods: Subcutaneous tumor xenografts of human prostate cancer cells (CWR22) were initiated in athymic nude mice. A secondβgeneration photose
## Abstract Chlorindicarboxylic acids with different alkyl side chains were prepared and their amphiphilic properties studied. The chemical purity, photophysical properties and the lipophilicity due to the alkyl side chains make the chlorins potential candidates for applications in photodynamic the
## Background and objective: Variations in the optical coefficients in tissue and the photosensitizer during photodynamic therapy (pdt) will require adjustment of the light dose during the course of therapy. we have studied the dynamics using light transmission spectra for two different tumor model
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives We examined tumor response to methylene blue (MB)βmediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) in a murine tumor model. The goal was to investigate the effects of drugβlight interval (DLI), injection vehicle, and fluence on tumor destruction. Fluorescence and reflec
