MORPHOFUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF RAT SARCOMA M-1 AFTER PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY WITH THE BACTERIOCHLOROPHYLL A DERIVATIVE by V. V. Yuzhakov, N. V. Burmistrova, N. K. Fomina, L. N. Bandurko, L. E. Sevanjkaeva, A. V. Starovoytova, N. D. Yakovleva, M. G. Tsyganova, I. E. Ingelj, P. V. Ostroverkhov, M. A. Kaplan, M. A. Grin, A. G. Mazhuga, A. F. Mironov, V. N. Galkin, Yu. S. Romanko

“…It is reasonable to suppose that in the early stages after photodynamic therapy destruction of the microvasculature and photocytostatic shock of tumor cells with subsequent development of necrosis are caused by direct influence of the light flux on sensitized cellular elements in parenchyma and stroma of tumors. The efficiency of photodynamic therapy with the novel photosensitizer is determined by the sequence of destructive and inflammatory changes in tumor parenchyma and surrounding tissues, as well as repopulation potential of tumor cells survived after treatment.…”
