Photodynamic therapy (PDT) of superficial bladder cancer may cause damages to the normal surrounding bladder wall. Prevention of these is important for bladder healing. We studied the influence of photosensitizer concentration, irradiation parameters, and ...
The present invention relates to organometallic compounds useful in the treatment of metastasis. The organometallic compounds comprise a ligand that is convalently bound to a bioactive compound, which is an inhibitor of a resistance pathway or a derivative ...
Successful photodynamic therapy of epithelial cancer requires a specific photosensitization of malignant tissue. We evaluate the intensity and localization of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) in superficial transitional cell carcinoma and nonmalignant cells of the ...
Head and neck (H&N) cancer patients have a high incidence of second primary tumors in the tracheobronchial tree. Diagnostic autofluorescence endoscopy (DAFE) has shown promising results in the detection of early neoplastic and pre-neoplastic changes in the ...
Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease originating from an overwhelming response of the mucosal immune system. Low dose photodynamic therapy (PDT) may modify the mucosal immune response and thus serve as a therapy for Crohn's disease. Most patien ...
Efficacy and tumour selectivity of photodynamic therapy with two clinically approved sensitizers (mTHPC, verteporfin) were assessed for focal intracavitary photodynamic therapy (PDT) in rodents with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) at recommended drug- ...
The aim of this thesis is to optimize and obtain fundamental information on i) the photodetection (PD) of early stage cancers in the tracheo-bronchial tree by spectroscopic imaging of the tissue autofluorescence, ii) photodynamic therapy (PDT) applied in d ...
This invention relates to oligonucleotide targeting agents and their use in the treatment of diseased cells by selective photochemotherapy (PCT). PCT is a method of treating human diseases and disorders, bacteriological indications and other pathological c ...
Image and flow cytometry was used to study the nuclear DNA content (ploidy) during the squamous cell carcinogenesis in the esophagus. The present retrospective study comprised 26 surgical specimens of squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) in patients who underwen ...
To report 24-month vision and fluorescein angiographic outcomes from trials evaluating photodynamic therapy with verteporfin (Visudyne; CIBA Vision Corp, Duluth, Ga) in patients with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) caused by age-related macula ...
