Abstract THE EFFECT OF whole body hyperthermia and hypothermia in conjunction with
photodynamic therapy (PDT) was determined on normal rat brain. Hyperthermia animals …

The widespread acceptance of photodynamic therapy (PDT), a potential adjuvant brain
tumor therapy under clinical evaluation since 1980, has been partially restrained by its …

The response of normal brain to photodynamic therapy (PDT) was investigated in 62 Fisher
rats. The animals were injected ip with Photofrin II (12.5 mg/kg). Forty‐eight hours following …

Summary. Background: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been under discussion as
additional treatment option for malignant gliomas. However, damage not only to tumour …

Objective: The effectiveness of four different photosensitizers for intracranial photodynamic
therapy (PDT) of normal brain tissues and an intracranial tumor was investigated in rabbits …

✓ Photodynamic therapy was studied in dogs with and without posterior fossa
glioblastomas. This mode of therapy consisted of intravenous administration of Photofrin-II at …

The authors describe a new photodynamic therapy (PDT) method for malignant brain
tumors. Pheophorbide α(Ph-a), the photosensitizer, has low toxicity, causes no skin …

The response of photodynamic therapy on normal brain was investigated in 140 Fisher rats.
The rats were injected ip with Photofrin II (12.5 mg/kg) and 48 h later the dural area over the …

Photosensitizer is known to spread with vasogenic edema fluid arising from a cerebral
lesion (Neurosurg 3: 1075–1082, 1993), which may be essential for sensitizing malignant …

This paper reports the effect of incident light fluence rate on the depth to which necrotic
lesions are produced by photodynamic therapy (PDT) in the brains of normal Fisher rats …
