The effect of Tookad-mediated photodynamic ablation of the prostate gland on adjacent tissues—in vivo study in a canine model†
Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) mediated with vascular acting photosensitizer Tookad (Pd-bacteriopheophorbide) was investigated as an alternative modality for treating prostate cancer. Photodynamic effects on the prostate gland and its adjacent tissues were evaluated in a canine model. Interstitial prostate PDT was performed by irradiating individual lobes with a cylindrical diffuser fiber at various
