Abstract

The therapeutic efficacy of photoradiation therapy (PRT) following hematoporphyrin derivative (HpD) administration was compared in the experimental MS-2 tumour model to that of conventional treatment methods for local control of neoplastic diseases. The therapeutic effects of PRT and surgical removal of primary tumour were comparable in these experiments. However, optimal effects were critically dependent on the stage of tumour development. In addition, the therapeutic advantage of PRT over radiotherapy suggest an interesting role of a new approach in tumours resistant to this conventional treatment.
