1. 5-Aminolevulinic acid and derivatives thereof : properties, lipid permeability and enzymatic reactions
Sammanfattning : 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) and derivatives thereof are widely usedprodrugs in treatment of pre-malignant skin diseases of the cancer treatmentmethod photodynamic therapy (PDT). The target molecule in 5-ALAPDTis protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), which is synthesized endogenously from5-ALA via the heme pathway in the cell. LÄS MER

3. On the use of light for the characterization and treatment of malignant tumours
Sammanfattning : Some aspects on the use of light for tissue characterization and treatment of malignant tumours are discussed within this thesis. The work presented aims at improving optical techniques for tissue characterization, especially to detect malignant and pre-malignant lesions. LÄS MER
4. Fluorescence Spectroscopy for Quantitative Demarcation of Glioblastoma Using 5-Aminolevulinic Acid
Sammanfattning : Total resection of glioblastoma, the highly malignant brain tumor, is difficult to accomplish due to its diffuse growth and similarity to the surrounding brain tissue. A total resection is proven to increase patient survival. LÄS MER
