Keywords膵癌 / 5-ALA / 光線力学診断
Outline of Final Research Achievements

Preoperative administration of 5-ALA induces fluorescence of specimens in pancreatic cancer. Fifteen pancreatic cancer patients were preoperatively given 5-ALA and fluorescence patterns of their specimen were observed. We categorized to three patterns (Category 0; no fluorescence, Category 1; fluorescence in spotted or small area, Category 2; fluorescence in whole area). The survival rate of the patients was significantly higher in Category 2 group than in category 0 and 1 group. The experiments using pancreatic cancer cell lines showed that 5-ALA induced fluorescence intensity is correlated to the response rate to gemcitabine.
