OBJECTIVE High-grade glioma (HGG) prognosis remains dismal, with inevitable, mostly
local recurrence. Regimens for improving local tumor control are therefore needed …

A technique is described for uniform light irradiation of the tumour cavity after radical subtotal
malignant brain tumour resection in patients whose tumours have been photosensitised by …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) consists of a laser light exposure of tumor cells
photosensitized by general or local administration of a pharmacological agent. Nowadays …

The authors performed photodynamic therapy (PDT), avoiding any hyperthermic effects,
using a newly developed diode laser and photosensitizer, mono‐L‐aspar‐tyl chlorin e6 …

On average, there are about 300,000 new cases of brain cancer each year. Studies have
shown that brain and central nervous system tumors are among the top ten causes of death …

Our objective was to examine the effect of time intervals between Photofrin injection and
laser irradiation [ie, drug–light interval (DLI)] on the mode of action of Photofrin …

Background Photodynamic therapy combines the effects of a chemical agent with the
physical energy from light or radiation to result in lysis of cells. Acridine orange (AO) is a …

Objective: The aim of this study was to demonstrate the clinical feasibility of intraoperative
photodiagnosis (PD) of malignant brain tumor using talaporfin sodium (TPS), which is an …

Photodynamic techniques such as photodynamic diagnosis (PDD), fluorescence-guided
tumour resection (FGR) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) are currently undergoing intensive …

Abstract Background and Objectives Enhancement of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with 5‐
aminolevulinic acid (ALA) has been demonstrated experimentally using light dose …
