This undoubtedly shows a gradually increasing frequency of the disease. Not very long ago, primary carcinoma of the lung was looked upon as a rarity and Adler (1912) c...

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 کاملSequential photodynamic therapy (PDT) and high dose brachytherapy for endobronchial tumour control in patients with limited bronchogenic carcinoma.

متن کاملPhotodynamic therapy for large or multiple patches of Bowen disease and basal cell carcinoma.
BACKGROUND Photodynamic therapy (PDT) using topical delta-aminolevulinic acid (delta-ALA) is an effective treatment for Bowen disease and certain basal cell carcinomas (BCCs), but its place in clinical practice remains to be established. Patients with large and/or multiple lesions of Bowen disease or BCC can represent a considerable therapeutic challenge. We suggest that delta-ALA PDT may be of...
متن کاملPrimary bronchogenic carcinoma associated with emphysematous giant bulla.
Operations for emphysematous giant bulla have been performed on 17 patients. Complications of primary lung cancer were observed in four of the 17 patients. All the patients who had such lung cancer were male and heavy smokers. As to histological type, squamous cell carcinoma were found in three patients and undifferentiated cancer of large cell type in one patient. The three had squamous cell c...
