Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an innovative and attractive modality for the treatment of
small and superficial tumours. PDT, as a multi-modality treatment procedure, requires both a …

chloroaluminum phthalocyanine; antiCEA MoAb, anticarcinoembryonic antigen; BBC, basal …

The first reports on photodynamic therapy (PDT) date back to the 1970s. Since then, several
thousands of patients, both with early stage and advanced stage solid tumours, have been …

Objectives. Tiny papillary tumors and flat urothelial lesions such as dysplasiaor carcinoma in
situ can easily be missed during routine cystoscopy. Various methods for in vivo detection of …

Abstract Background and Objective An early detection of oral cancer might improve the
patient's prognosis. We present preliminary results of autofluorescence photodetection of …

Background/Aims: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been adapted to the endoscopic
treatment of digestive cancer, but its indications and efficacy remain uncertain. The aim of …

Fluorescence diagnosis aims to improve the management of oral cancer via early detection
of the malignant lesions and better delimitation of the tumor margins. This paper presents a …

Topical application of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), with subsequent synthesis of
protoporphyrin IX (PPIX), is a novel outstanding procedure for photodynamic treatment. So …

Objectives: Early cancer detection is the best way to improve the prognosis of patients with
oral cancer. Therefore this study presents quantitative fluorescence measurements and …

The feasibility of using in vivo autofluorescence for the diagnosis of skin cancer was
evaluated. In vivo fluorescence measurements were performed on healthy human …
