Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of tetra(m-hydroxyphenyl)chlorin in the hamster cheek pouch tumor model: comparison with clinical measurements

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Alain Woodtli

The pharmacokinetics (PK) of the photosensitizer tetra(m-hydroxyphenyl)chlorin (mTHPC) was measured by optical fiber-based light-induced fluorescence spectroscopy (LIFS) in the normal and tumoral cheek pouch mucosa of 29 Golden Syrian hamsters with chem. i ...

Photodynamic therapy for 101 early cancers of the upper aerodigestive tract, the esophagus, and the bronchi: a single-institution experience

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Alain Woodtli

Cancer, when detected at an early stage, has a very good probability of being eradicated by surgery or radiotherapy. However, less aggressive treatments also tend to provide high rates of cure without the side effects of radical therapy. We report on the r ...

Interstitial photodynamic therapy with tetra(m-hydroxyphenyl)chlorin: tumor versus striated muscle damage

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Alain Woodtli

Purpose: The present study was initiated to det. the conditions under which a single photodynamic treatment would induce maximal damage to a tumor with no or at least minimal reversible damage to a normal striated muscle. Methods and Materials: The techniq ...

Photodynamic Therapy for Cancer of the Upper Aerodigestive Tract Using Tetra(m-hydroxyphenyl)chlorin

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Alain Woodtli

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 ...

In-vivo fluence rate effect in photodynamic therapy of early cancers with tetra(m-hydroxyphenyl)chlorin

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Alain Woodtli

Several parameters affect clin. trials in photodynamic therapy and influence the therapeutic outcome. Beside drug dose, light dose, drug-light interval and other variables, the fluence rate is a parameter that can influence the therapeutic results. In this ...
