Abstract
The potential use of hematoporphyrin derivative in the phototherapy of bronchogenic cancer was demonstrated. Ten patients (a total of 11 carcinomas) with cancer involving the tracheobronchial tree completed 1 course of this new treatment administered via the flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope. Four superficial carcinomas showed a complete response; 5 larger carcinomas showed a partial response. Two patients, each with a large cancer extending beyond the bronchial wall, died within 11 days after treatment.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
