A Comparison of tumor demarcation potential for various hematoporphyrin derivatives and phtalocyanine using laser-induced fluorescence

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Laser-induced fluorescence data for rats injected with the different tumor-marking drugs, dihematoporphyrin ether, poly hematoporphyrin esters, hematoporphyrin and phtalocyanine, are presented. Studies were performed at two different excitation wavelengths. Comparisons between the different drugs are made with regard to fluorescence intensity and tumor demarcation capability. Further, the origin of the differences in fluorescence characteristics is briefly di scussed.
