Photodynamic effect using a diode laser with mono-l-aspartyl chlorin e6 (NPe6) for implanted mouse tumor

A new red diode laser has been developed that is suited for use in photodynamic therapy (PDT). The new laser can be used with NPe6, a photosensitizer that does not prolong normal skin sensitiveness. This study examined the effectiveness of PDT using the diode laser and compound for treatment of fibrosarcoma implanted in BALB/c mice.
