Abstract
Recent clinical trials with photochemotherapy of human tumors have been successful [1, 2]. Many of the mechanisms leading to destruction of tumors after treatment with hematoporphyrin derivatives and light are yet unidentified. Experiments with cells in vitro have been useful in the search for cellular effects of photochemotherapy. There are, however, situations in treatment of tumors that are difficult to simulate in vitro.
