N2 - Laser4nduced fluorescence was used for the monitoring of the &-amino levulinic acid (ALA)-induced protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) build-up in non-melanoma malignant tumours of the skin and some cancers in the head and neck region. An optical-fibre based point monitoring system was utilised in the recording of fluorescence spectra at different time intervals after the administration of ALA. In the cases of skin tumours ALA was normally applied topically to the area. Only in one patient with an aggressive skin tumour ALA was administered intravenously. For the PpIX induction in the head and neck tumours the ALA was given orally. An example ofa tumour fluorescence image is also presented.
