Abstract
Most animal cells are insensitive to visible light because they lack chromophores that absorb at these wavelengths. However, cells can be made susceptible to visible light by staining them with a photosensitizing dye. Photosensitizers that bind preferentially to neoplastic cells offer interesting opportunities for new approaches to cancer therapy. The preferential retention of intravenously administered hematoporphyrin derivative (HPD) by tumor tissue is now exploited with encouraging results in the treatment of head and neck, lung, breast and bladder cancer, and several other solid tumors [1, 2].
