Photodynamic therapy (PDT) uses non‐toxic dyes called photosensitizers (PS) and
harmless visible light that combine to form highly toxic reactive oxygen species that kill cells …

Although photodynamic therapy (PDT) has shown great promise for the inactivation of
Candida species, its effectiveness against azole‐resistant pathogens remains poorly …

The success of PDT and its establishment into the existent hall of therapeutic modalities
depends on the collection of reported experiences from around the world. In that sense, it is …

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a local treatment that requires a photosensitizing agent,
light and molecular oxygen. With appropriate illumination, the photosensitizer is excited and …

Using normal rat liver we investigated the depth of necrosis induced by photodynamic
therapy when different light doses and photosensitizer (Photogem®) concentrations. All …

The efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) depends on a variety of parameters:
concentration of the photosensitizer at the time of treatment, light wavelength, fluence …

Background: Despite significant advances in neurosurgical techniques, the median survival
time of patients with glioblastoma has improved little over the past 50 years and remains …

Our study demonstrated the biological changes produced in the Rhabdomyosarcoma (RD)
cell line triggered by the photochemical reaction between PHOTOGEM®(photosensitizing …

Photosensitizers used in PDT suffer degradation by light. In this work, photobleaching of
Photogem®(PG), Photofrin®(PF), and Photosan®(PS), hematoporphyrin derivatives, were …

We have investigated a possible correlation between the photostability and photodynamic
efficacy for different photosensitizers; hematoporphyrin derivatives and chlorines. To perform …
