The optimal drug-light interval for effective photodynamic therapy (PDT) of early squamous cell carcinomas was evaluated with tetra(m-hydroxyphenyl)chlorin (mTHPC) by means of two complementary modalities: irradiation tests and ex vivo fluorescence microsc ...
Two methods for measuring the optical properties of tissue, i.e. reduced scattering and absorption coefficient, were developed. The first one was designed for in vitro investigations. It is based on the measurement of the spatially resolved transmittance t ...
A major step in the development of photodynamic therapy (PDT) is the clinical optimization and evaluation of new photosensitizers (PS). Ideally, new compounds should be more effective and/or induce fewer side effects than the first generation PS such as he ...
Cutaneous and ocular melanomas are due to malignant transformation of neural crest-derived melanocytes. The rising incidence of this tumor in humans has stimulated experiments to devise suitable mouse models. In the past years, transgenic mouse lines have ...
Infection by some types of human papillomavirus (HPV) is associated with the development of cervical cancer. Analysis of viral DNA from cervical tumours shows that the E2 gene is frequently disrupted during integration into the host cell's DNA. It has ther ...
The use of dyes has been helpful for the photodiagnosis of small cancers accessible to endoscopic examn. An important limiting factor of this technol. is that the presently used fluorescent dye mixt. has a relatively poor capacity to accumulate preferentia ...
