Photodynamic therapy of human glioma spheroids using 5-aminolevulinic acid.
The response of human glioma spheroids to 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) is investigated. A two-photon fluorescence microscopy technique is used to show that human glioma cells readily convert ALA to protoporphyrin IX throughout the entire spheroid volume. The central finding of this study is that the response of human glioma spheroids to ALA-mediated PDT depend...
متن کاملPhotodynamic Detection of Peritoneal Metastases Using 5-Aminolevulinic Acid (ALA)
In the past, peritoneal metastasis (PM) was considered as a terminal stage of cancer. From the early 1990s, however, a new comprehensive treatment consisting of cytoreductive surgery and perioperative chemotherapy has been established to improve long-term survival for selected patients with PM. Among prognostic indicators after the treatment, completeness of cytoreduction is the most independen...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Primary Response of Basal Cell Carcinoma to Aminolevulinic Acid Photodynamic Therapy
Background: Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer in human beings. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a novel therapeutic method which may be regarded as a non-invasive useful alternative for traditional treatments of BCC. This study was designed with the aim of evaluating the primary response of BCC to PDT.Methods: This clinical trial was perform...
متن کاملPhotodynamic diagnosis (PDD) using 5-aminolevulinic acid-supplemented cultures of human endometrial epithelial cells.
PURPOSE The studies were aimed at monitoring 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-dependent accumulation of endogenous protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) in epithelial cells originating from normal endometrium or endometriotic foci, as related to steroid treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS Epithelial cells were cultured in presence of estradiol-17 beta (E2) and progesterone (P) in concentrations typical for the f...
متن کاملEffect of Silver Nanoparticles on Improving the Efficacy of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid-Induced Photodynamic Therapy
Introduction: The most important limitation of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-induced photodynamic therapy (PDT) is the efficacy of the cells in converting 5-ALA to protoporphyrin IX. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with the photosensitivity at the surface plasmon resonance wavelength on 5-ALA-mediated PDT. Material and Methods: First of a...
