Abstract
Pheophorbide-a, a group of photosensitizer, and Nd: YAG laser equipped Q-switch were tested for photodynamic activity against transplantable FANFT-induced urotherial tumors growing in female C3H/He mice. Histologically larger areas of tumor cell necrosis on the slide spiecimen were observed 7 days after completion of therapy when compaired with control. This study demonstrates the potential of the new photodynamic cancer therapy.
