| Sommario/riassunto: | Certain organic compounds can become toxic to biological tissue when activated by light. Many medical applications of this effect have been studied over the past twenty years, and This symposium brings together chemists, biologists, and clinicians to discuss the basic chemistry of the sensitizing compounds, their biological effects, and clinical applications in treatments of various cancers and skin disorders. |
