Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We have developed a new diagnostic method using the photosensitizer 5-aminolevulinic acid (5ALA) for diagnosing intrathoracic malignant lesions. When ingested exogenously, 5ALA is metabolized to a heme precursor, protoporphyrin IX, which stays in malignant cells and emits red to pink luminescence of about 630 nm. Malignant lesions on the pleural surface emitted pink autofluorescence in contrast to the green autofluorescence of the surrounding normal tissues observed by an autofluorescence imaging system. This system achieved accurate localization of malignant lesions, suggesting that it may also be applicable to photodynamic therapy.
