Photodynamic methods for fluorescence diagnosis and therapy of photosensitized tumors. [PDF]
Several substances, e.g., hematoporphyrin derivatives (HpD), dihematoporphyrin ether/ester (DHE), phthalocyanines, porphycenes, and other drugs are known to be temporarily and selectively stored in tumors after systematic application.

Photodynamic therapy: A promising new modality for the treatment of cancer [PDF]
The first reports on photodynamic therapy (PDT) date back to the 1970s. Since then, several thousands of patients, both with early stage and advanced stage solid tumours, have been treated with PDT and many claims have been made regarding its efficacy ...

Differential effect of Photofrin II on growth of human smooth muscle cells from nonatherosclerotic arteries and atheromatous plaques in vitro. [PDF]
The effect of dihematoporphyrin-ester or -ether (DHE), a photosensitizing porphyrin with different amounts of aggregates, on the growth of cultured smooth muscle cells obtained from nonatherosclerotic arteries and from atheromatous plaques (primary ...

Photodynamic therapy for endobronchial malignant disease: A prospective fourteen-year study [PDF]
Background: After intravenous injection, the photosensitizer dihematoporphyrin ether is selectively retained in tumor cells. This photosensitizer absorbs 630 nm wavelength light energy and produces a singlet oxygen that destroys the tumor.

Effect of low energy argon laser and dihematoporphyrin ether on the growth, viability, and catecholamine production of C1300 murine neuroblastoma cells in vitro [PDF]
Low power laser induced fluorescence of dihematoporphyrin ether (DHE, photofrin 2) is used to detect cancer. The goal was to determine the effect of low power argon laser light and DHE on C-1300 murine neuroblastoma cells (MNB, NB41A3).
