Abstract

Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided intro two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weights). The other group received no Photofrin E Mice from both groups were irradiated for approximately 15 minutes at 100,300, or $500{\;}mW/\textrm{cm}^2$ with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photofrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to $300{\;}mW/\textrm{cm}^2$ irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Lights and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise.
