Popis: Objectives/Hypothesis Delta aminolevulinic acid (ALA)–induced protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) is a fluorescent sensitizer that permits detection and treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity. An exogenously induced decrease in tissue pH was evaluated for its effect in enhancing cellular uptake of ALA and facilitating its transformation into PpIX. Study Design Mice grafted with HT29 colonic cancers had been given glucose and amiloride to modify the pH of tissues. Influence of pH changes has been evaluated on ALA-induced PPIX fluorescence by optic fiber spectrofluorimetry as well as on tumor growth. Methods Results: The pH in HT 29 tumor decreased from 7.1 to 6.67 (P
