Photodynamic therapy protocol parameters

For successful application of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photosensitized fluorescent diagnostics (PFD) of tumors a great number of various parameters affecting the efficiency of therapy and diagnostics should be controlled. This paper presents what parameters are important for photodynamic therapy protocol and how these parameters could be measured during PDT. For storing and analysis of these data it is desirable to use database program. This program allows one to save and represent information in a convenient way, make statistical analysis, and compare results obtained in various clinics.
