Development of a novel indwelling balloon applicator for optimizing light delivery in photodynamic therapy

A human glioma spheroid model is used to investigate the efficacy of different light delivery schemes in 5‐aminolevulinic acid (ALA)—mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT). The results provide the rationale for the development of an indwelling balloon applicator for optimizing light delivery.
