The use of 5-aminolevulinic acid and its derivatives in photodynamic therapy and diagnosis [PDF]
Biuletyn Wojskowej Akademii Technicznej, 2018 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is used as a drug in the photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) of cancer. Combined with irradiation at the appropriate wavelength, it is used as a photosensitizer precursor to identify/kill tumour cells.

Our Experience With Photodynamic Diagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy for Lung Cancer [PDF]
Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, 2012 The diagnosis of lung cancer was significantly enhanced by the development of the fiberoptic bronchoscope in 1965. Since then, advances in photosensitizers and light sources have brought photodynamic medicine into the light. This article offers an historic overview of the emergence of photodynamic medicine through the perspective of a pioneer with more

Photodynamic Diagnosis and Therapy for Peritoneal Carcinomatosis: Emerging Perspectives. [PDF]
Cancers (Basel), 2020 Peritoneal carcinomatosis occurs frequently in patients with advanced stage gastrointestinal and gynecological cancers. The wide-spread peritoneal micrometastases indicate a poor outlook, as the tumors are difficult to diagnose and challenging to completely eradicate with cytoreductive surgery and chemotherapeutics.

Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy, 2018 Several types of photosensitizers such as 5-aminolevulinic acid are progenitors of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX). PpIX accumulates in cancer cells and has photosensitivity. Based on these characteristics, they are used in photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) and photodynamic therapy (PDT).
