PHOTOSENSITIZERS: THERAPY AND DETECTION OF MALIGNANT TUMORS

Dougherty, Thomas J.·1987·Photochemistry and Photobiology

Abstract

Abstract. Advances in the use of photosensitizers for detection and treatment of malignant tumors during the previous reviews in this journal have been mainly in the areas of development of potentially useful new photosensitizers (e.g. phthalocyanines and chlorins), further understanding of the mechanisms of photodynamic therapy (PDT), and in dosimetry of light delivery in tissue. Perhaps the most significant advance during the past year has been the initiation of Phase III clinical trials of PDT vs standard therapy in treatment of superficial bladder cancer and obstructive endobronchial tumors. In the final analysis, only such clinical trials can determine the future of this new modality for cancer treatment.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
