Abstract
We evaluated the effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with pheophorbide-a (PpA) as a photosensitizing agent and pulsed Nd-YAG Laser (1064nm) on human gastric cancer cells (Hs 746T) by MTT (methyl-thiazolylte-trazolium ) assay.
Optical density (O. D.) of MTT assay decreased slightly immediately after irradiation, but remarkably decreased successively 1 and 3 days after irradiation in the group treated with PpA more than 34.6 μg/ml, which represented that the number of living cells decreased,
