Popis: Photochemotherapy (PCT) consists in administration of a photosensitizer and subsequent irradiation of the tumor with visible light. Routinely, the photosensitizer is given intravenously (i.v), but the major drawback of this procedure is the resulting skin photosensitivity. The goal of our study is to examine whether intravesical (i.b.) instillation of the photosensitizer for PDT of bladder cancer might be feasible in order to target the tumors and to avoid the photosensitization phenomenon.After first studying the biodistribution of hematoporphyrin derivative (HpD) in vivo in the rat bladder, two and four hours after intravesical administration, by fluorescence microscopy, we compared two different methods for the induction of superficial bladder tumors in rats with AY-27 tumor cell line in order to perform the same study on bladder tumors.The best results for the penetration depth of HpD in the normal bladder wall were obtained two hours after the bladder instillation where the photosensitizer was detect...
