Abstract
In vivo studies on tumor-bearing animals have demonstrated a preferential uptake of several exogenous dyes — and particularly of the Hematoporphyrin-Derivative (HpD) — within the tumor mass 1–4 (reviewed in Ref. 5). Consequently, photoactivation of the dye resulted in selective destruction of the tumor tissue. Such photo-dynamic effects have been utilized in experimental photochemother-apy of induced or spontaneous tumors in animals 3,6–8 After HpD administration, tumor tissues have been irradiated by laser light either directly or through cptic fibres. Success reported with this strategy lead recently to the application of similar protocols to human tumors 9,10.
