Abstract
Subject headings
Close
- Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) investigations have been performed in connection with photodynamic therapy (PDT) of basal cell carcinomas and adjacent normal skin following topical application of 5-aminolaevulinic acid (ALA) in order to study the kinetics of the protoporphyrin TX (PpIX) build-up. Five superficial and 10 nodular lesions in 15 patients are included in the study. Fluorescence measurements are performed prior to the application of ALA, 2, 4 and 6 h port ALA application, immediately post PDT (60 J cm(-2) at 635 nm), and 2 h after the treatment. Hence, the build-up, photobleaching and re-accumulation of PpIX can be followed. Superficial lesions show a maximum PpIX fluorescence 6 h post ALA application, whereas the intensity is already the highest 2-4 h after the application in nodular lesions. Immediately post PDT, the fluorescence contribution at 670 Mm from the photoproducts is about 2% of the pre-PDT PpIX fluorescence at 635 nm. Two hours after the treatment, a uniform distribution of PpIX is found in the lesion and surrounding normal tissue. During the whole procedure, the autofluorescence of the lesions and the normal skin does not vary significantly from the values recorded before the application of ALA. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A.
