As a new photosensitizer, the heme precursor 5- aminolevulinic acid has been introduced recently for photodynamic therapy of tumors and precancerous lesions of the skin. It has been shown that the efficacy of topical 5-ALA-PDT is limited for deeper skin tumor by the depth of 5-ALA penetration through the skin. Oral or systemic administration of ALA or the use of different irradiation schemes may improve tumor response to PDT.\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Methods:<\/jats:italic>\n                    Laser irradiation parameters used in this study were \u03bb = 635 nm, P = 3 mW, t\n                    <jats:sub>exp<\/jats:sub>\n                    = 300 sec, and three sessions. The fluorescence was excitated by monochromatic light of 405 nm. The temporal behavior of PpIX fluorescence was studied by processing and analyzing the fluorescence images acquired just after applying 5-ALA, just before and just after three laser irradiations.\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Results:<\/jats:italic>\n                    The results demonstrate that PpIX is highly selective for tumors areas and a re-accumulation of PpIX appears between laser irradiations. During laser irradiation, the PpIX fluorescence intensity decreases rapidly, reflecting the photodegradation of PpIX.\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Conclusions:<\/jats:italic>\n                    In conclusion, the use of a multiple laser irradiation scheme, for the activation of reaccumulation of Pp IX (with three steps) is effective for photodynamic therapy of Walker tumor.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/pho.2005.23.405","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,9,6]],"date-time":"2005-09-06T12:16:18Z","timestamp":1126008978000},"page":"405-409","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Photodynamic Therapy of Walker Tumors by Multiple Laser Irradiation"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Mihaelaantonina","family":"Calin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute for Optoelectronics, Bucharest, Romania."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria Iuliana","family":"Gruia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Oncology, Bucharest, Romania."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicoleta","family":"Herascu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute for Optoelectronics, Bucharest, Romania."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Toma","family":"Coman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Medicine Faculty, Spiru Haret University, Bucharest, Romania."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,8]]},"container-title":["Photomedicine and Laser Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1089\/pho.2005.23.405","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1089\/pho.2005.23.405","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,1]],"date-time":"2026-05-01T23:22:17Z","timestamp":1777677737000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full\/10.1089\/pho.2005.23.405"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2005,8]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2005,8]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1089\/pho.2005.23.405"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1089\/pho.2005.23.405","relation":{},"ISSN":["1549-5418","1557-8550"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1549-5418","type":"print"},{"value":"1557-8550","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2005,8]]}}}
