- Following systemic injection, hematoporphyrin derivative (HPD) is known to be selectively retained in malignant tissue. This property can be used in a two-fold way: a) for localizing tumours by observing the characteristic dual-peaked laser-induced fluorescence from HPD, and b) for photodynamic therapy (HPD-PDT) using a localized HPD-assisted singlet oxygen release induced by irradiation of 630 nm laser light. This rapidly developing field has recently been reviewed by DOUGHERTY.
