Photodynamic Therapy for Superficial Esophageal Cancer Using an Excimer Dye Laser
In order to improve the therapeutic effectiveness of photodynamic therapy with Photofrin II and laser light for superficial esophageal cancer, we employed an excimer dye laser instead of an argon dye laser. Eight superficial esophageal cancer lesions (7 cases) were treated.

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 ...

Photodynamic methods for fluorescence diagnosis and therapy of photosensitized tumors.
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 for endobronchial malignant disease: A prospective fourteen-year study
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.

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).
