title: The influence of hyperthermia upon growth rate of the tumorous tissue during the photodynamic therapy.
abstract: The growth rate of the fibrosarcoma transplanted into the hind leg of CBA/HZgr strain mice is documented after the tumor irradiation with the red light (620 < or = lambda < or = 710 nm) of 180 and 240 mW/cm2 incident power density. The comparison of the measured growth rate with the control group shows a notable reduction due to hyperthermical effects. The results are understood within the scope of the mathematical model for the heat deposition in tissue presented elsewhere.
