In vivo light dosimetry for motexafin lutetium‐mediated PDT of recurrent breast cancer

To measure the fluence at tissue surface for patients in our Phase II clinical trial of motexafin lutetium (MLu)‐mediated chest wall photodynamic therapy for recurrent breast carcinoma and to compare it to the calculated irradiance.
