BACKGROUND Photodynamic therapy (PDT) involves laser light excitation of a tumor-localizing photosensitizer to destroy neoplasms. Benzoporphyrin derivative (BPD) is a new photosensitizer with several favorable characteristics. OBJECTIVE Studies were designed to: 1) assess the efficacy of BPD-mediated PDT in treating in vivo squamous cell carcinomas (SCC); 2) obtain dosimetry data for BPD and laser parameters; and 3) establish clinical and histologic correlates of BPD-induced tumor regression. METHODS Human SCC was implanted into nude mice. One group received BPD followed by laser light of 150 J/cm2 from an argon-pumped dye laser at 690 nm. Three control groups included laser energy alone, BPD alone, and no treatment. RESULTS At day 21 posttreatment only PDT-treated tumors showed a statistically significant decrease in tumor volume and complete cure rate. Clinical resolution (scar) correlated perfectly with histologic resolution (scar). CONCLUSIONS Human SCC in a nude mouse model responds to BPD-mediated PDT.

D011166 Porphyrins A group of compounds containing the porphin structure, four pyrrole rings connected by methine bridges in a cyclic configuration to which a variety of side chains are attached. The nature of the side chain is indicated by a prefix, as uroporphyrin, hematoporphyrin, etc. The porphyrins, in combination with iron, form the heme component in biologically significant compounds such as hemoglobin and myoglobin. Porphyrin

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
