Exogenous administration of hexaminolevulinate (HAL) induces fluorescent protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) accumulation preferentially in cancer cells. However, the PpIX fluorescence intensities between noncancer and cancer cells are highly variable. The contrast between cancer and noncancer cells may be insufficient to reliably discriminate, especially at the single cell level in cancer diagnostics. This study examines the use of the chemical adjuvants dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) or deferoxamine (DFO) to enhance the HAL induced PpIX accumulation in cancer cells. Our results showed that in some of the incubation conditions tested, the addition of DFO with HAL significantly increased PpIX 21 fluorescence of adherent monolayer cancer cells, but this was never the case for cells in suspension. Permeabilisation with DMSO did not increase PpIX fluorescence. Cell-to-cell interaction may well play an important role in the PpIX accumulation when suspended cells are treated in HAL and adjuvant chemicals.

Mitochondrial oxygen tension (MitoPO2) is a promising novel non-invasive bedside marker of circulatory shock and is associated with organ failure. The measurement of mitoPO2 requires the topical application of 5-aminolevulinc acid (ALA) to induce sufficient concentrations of the fluorescent protein protoporphyrin-IX within (epi)dermal cells. Currently, its clinical potential in guiding resuscitation therapies is limited by the long induction time prior to obtaining a reliable measurement signal.

Background: Brain tumor needle biopsy interventions are inflicted with nondiagnostic or biased sampling in up to 25% and hemorrhage, including asymptomatic cases, in up to 60%. To identify diagnostic tissue and sites with increased microcirculation, intraoperative optical techniques have been suggested. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical implications of in situ optical guidance in frameless navigated tumor biopsies.

5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-induced protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) fluorescence shows high sensitivity in detecting the tumor core of high-grade gliomas (HGG) but poor sensitivity for tissue of low-grade gliomas (LGG) and the margins of HGG. The characteristic emission peak for PpIX is known to be located at 635 nm. Recently, a second emission peak was described at 620 nm wavelength in LGG and the tumor infiltration zone of HGG.

: The standard recommendation for patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer is 5-aminolevulinic acid-mediated photodynamic diagnosis. The intensity of the fluorescence caused by the intracellular accumulation of protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) varies among tumors and patients. This study investigated the circadian rhythm of intracellular PPIX accumulation in bladder urothelial cancer cells exposed to 5-aminolevulinic acid.

Cancer-related anemia (CRA), a complication of cancer, is considered the primary cause of high mortality for cancer patients. Safe and effective theranostics are desirable for realizing the high diagnostic accuracy of tumors and ameliorating CRA in the clinic. However, the available theranostics do not support dual-modal imaging and the amelioration of CRA at the same time.
