| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) is an imaging method by administering a photosensitizer that collects in cancer cells, irradiating the lesion with laser light (excitation light), and fluorescing the cancer. It is advantageous as a simple and less invasive diagnostic method for early cancer. It also leads to photodynamic therapy (PDT) using this principle. This study examined the usefulness of PDD in gastrointestinal cancer. It was confirmed that it is useful for lesion identification in gastric cancer and Barrett's esophageal cancer. However, in gastric cancer with low degree of differentiation, the detection rate was low, and it was revealed that the metabolism of photosensitizer in cancer cells is affecting the cause.
