Potentiation of the 5-aminolevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy with cyclophosphamide
We have investigated the efficacy of the Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) from 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) in combination with an antineoplastic agent using an in vitro-in vivo model developed in our laboratory. The alkylant cyclophosphamide (CY) was chosen because there is evidence of the porphyrinogenic...
