Notes: Temoporfin is a synthetic chlorin with light-activated actions. When administered systemically, temoporfin accumulates in tumor cells.{28585,28587} When stimulated with light (650-652 nm) in the presence of oxygen, reactive oxygen species are generated, leading to necrosis within the tumor.{28585,28587} Different approaches to using photodynamic therapy with temoporfin in palliative care are currently of interest.{28586,28588}
