Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is an experimental, binary treatment far brain cancer which requires as the first step that tumor tissue is targeted with a boron-10 containing compound. Subsequent exposure to a thermal neutron flux results in destruct ...
An apparatus is designed and realized to detect "early" cancer at the surface of the hollow organs in the human body by endoscopic means. The tumor is localized by the laser induced fluorescence of a dye (HPD) which concentrates selectively in the neoplast ...
The timing has been optimized of photodetection (and possibly also phototherapy) of early cancer in the upper aerodigestive tract and bronchi and the relative concn. of fluorescent components of Photofrin II measured in patients as a function of the time a ...
New results are presented on the pharmacokinetics of the fluorescing fraction of Photofrin II in patients with an early cancer in the oesophagus or the buccal cavity. The light-induced fluorescence signal shows a relatively high contrast between tumor and ...
