abstract：BACKGROUND:Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has not been reported for human hepatoma, because cancer cells only weakly take up the photosensitizer. Indocyanine green (ICG) is a photosensitizer normally excreted into the bile, and bile excretion is impaired in human hepatomas. We examined whether human hepatoma cell lines pre...
