Abstract
The effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) on interstitial fluid pressure (IFP), tumour volume and water content was measured in melanomas grown in hamsters. Unlike control tumours, treated tumours exhibited a 40-60% increase in volume at 1, 3 and 6 h post PDT. IFP also increased at 1 and 3 h after PDT, but decreased to 50% of control value after 24 h, presumably as a result of PDT-induced microcirculatory impairment.Entities:
