Abstract

Hematoporphyrin derivative (HpD) photodynamic therapy (PDT) is presently being used to diagnose and treat a variety of tumors in various organs. A number of fiber optics systems have been developed to detect HpD fluorescence for diagnosis and to photodynamically activate it for treatment. Use of single multimode optical fibers with various distal tips have allowed HpD-PDT to be done throughout the human body by interstitial and endoscopic techniques.
