Photodynamic therapy combines a photosensitizer, such as porfimer sodium (Photofrin), with red laser light (630 nm.) to destroy cancer cells. Investigators have reported the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy in the treatment of patients with recurrent superficial bladder cancer. We assess the safety and efficacy of 1 or 2 photodynamic treatments using porfimer sodium and controlled uniform laser light (630 nm.) as an alternative to cystectomy in patients with refractory vesical carcinoma in situ of the bladder. |
