Description

<p>Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a standard treatment for centrally located early lung cancer. Accurate diagnosis of the tumor extent and appropriate application of laser irradiation are important for improving treatment outcome. However, some endoscopic systems are unsuitable for evaluating tumor extent after injecting taraporfin sodium, a photosensitizer, and because of the loss of color information with the use of strong laser light, complicating appropriate irradiation of the tumor. In this study, we investigated the ingenuity of PDT to improve the therapeutic outcome with the simultaneous use of endoscopic system ELUXEO 7000® (Fujifilm Corporation).</p>
