title: [Photochemotherapy of experimental tumors in animals using various photosensitizers].
abstract: Different colouring matters with high molar extinction coefficient were tested at the Friedrich Schiller University with regard to their photodynamic efficacy. Test system was the rapid-growing solid Ehrlich carcinoma. Methylen-blue, hematoporphyrin derivative Halle and chlorophyllin produce a markedly reduction of the tumor weight. In the presence of hypoxic areas an additional application of nitroimidazols is possible. A pilot laser unit for photochemotherapy of urinary bladder tumors is presented.
