Surgery with intraoperative photodynamic therapy (PDT) has the potential to improve the treatment of pleural malignancies. Before embarking on such treatment in humans, however, thoracic tissue tolerance to PDT was studied. For each of three (1 week, 1 month, and 6 month) study end-points, one control (no Photofrin II [PII]) and four treated animals underwent thoracotomy 72 hours after I.V. injection (6 mg/kg) PII. Red light (630 nm) was delivered (5-40 J/cm2) to the pleural surface (1 cm diameter) of selected thoracic organs. No clinical differences were observed between PDT and control dogs. The control showed no histological changes; however, in the treated animals focal areas of coagulation necrosis were found at 1 week which progressed to fibrosis at 1 month. The extent and depth of injury was proportional to light dose. The lung was the most sensitive; the chest wall was the most resistant. Myocardium had superficial damage, whereas coronary arteries appeared normal. The results provide the basis for proceeding to phase I human trials in the evaluation of PDT as an intraoperative adjuvant treatment in the management of pleural malignancies.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007430 Intraoperative Care Patient care procedures performed during the operation that are ancillary to the actual surgery. It includes monitoring, fluid therapy, medication, transfusion, anesthesia, radiography, and laboratory tests. Care, Intraoperative
D008297 Male Males
D008654 Mesothelioma A tumor derived from mesothelial tissue (peritoneum, pleura, pericardium). It appears as broad sheets of cells, with some regions containing spindle-shaped, sarcoma-like cells and other regions showing adenomatous patterns. Pleural mesotheliomas have been linked to exposure to asbestos. (Dorland, 27th ed) Mesotheliomas
D010994 Pleura The thin serous membrane enveloping the lungs (LUNG) and lining the THORACIC CAVITY. Pleura consist of two layers, the inner visceral pleura lying next to the pulmonary parenchyma and the outer parietal pleura. Between the two layers is the PLEURAL CAVITY which contains a thin film of liquid. Parietal Pleura,Visceral Pleura,Pleura, Parietal,Pleura, Visceral
D010997 Pleural Neoplasms Neoplasms of the thin serous membrane that envelopes the lungs and lines the thoracic cavity. Pleural neoplasms are exceedingly rare and are usually not diagnosed until they are advanced because in the early stages they produce no symptoms. Neoplasms, Pleural,Neoplasm, Pleural,Pleural Neoplasm
D003131 Combined Modality Therapy The treatment of a disease or condition by several different means simultaneously or sequentially. Chemoimmunotherapy, RADIOIMMUNOTHERAPY, chemoradiotherapy, cryochemotherapy, and SALVAGE THERAPY are seen most frequently, but their combinations with each other and surgery are also used.
