ATTEMPTS AT MODIFICATION OF THE RADIATION RESPONSE OF NEOPLASMS BY THE ADMINISTRATION OF "HEMATOPORPHYRIN"

Journal Article · · Cancer
A solution of hematoporphyrin was admiaistered intravenously or locally to patients with advanced carcinoma. This was combined with treatment by ionizing radiation. There was no evidence of a potentiating effect when the hematoporphyrin was injected intravenously. In the group of 5 patients in whom the tumors were injected locally, there was an enhanced radiation effect in 1 patient. Aspects of the tumorlocalizing properties of hematoporphyrin are discussed.
