| Description |
We appreciate the comments of Drs. Kaye and Hill on our article. We are pleased that these investigators concurred with our impression that photodynamic therapy (PDT) may potentially be useful in the treatment of posterior fossa tumors. Several interesting questions were raised about the technical aspects of our method of determining tissue Photofrin levels in tumor and surrounding normal brain. Our laboratory concurs with their feelings about the limitations of relative fluorescence. We have therefore conducted additional investigations with radiolabeled Photofrin to quantify tissue levels by yet another technique. |
