| Summary: | Results of fluorescence diagnosis (FD) with alasens in 237 patients with skin cancer are represented. The average age of patients accounted for 63±11 y.o. The indications for FD were the borders adjustment for skin cancer of different localizations prior to special treatment and also the search for occult foci of malignant lesion. There were two groups of patients: patients with locally advanced head and neck carcinomas, who had FD prior to surgical treatment, and patients with cancer of different localization, who had FD prior to photodynamic therapy (PDT). FD permitted to adjust borders of detected tumor foci in 100% of patients that impacted on extent of resection during surgery in group 1 of patients and helped planning fields of laser irradiation for PDT session in group 2 of patients. Due to FD with alasens 506 foci of additional fluorescence were detected in 118 (53.1%) of 222 patients in group 2, skin cancer was diagnosed morphologically in 63 patients (28.4%) of them. |
