Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS: L- PDT had significantly more potent apoptotic effects at 48 and 72 h after light exposure compared with P- PDT (P < 0.001). The mean PCNA-LI was significantly lower in the L- PDT group than the P- PDT group and the index was significantly lower at several time points after PDT (6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h after laser light exposure) in the L- PDT than P- PDT (P < 0.001 vs. control). The cell proliferative activity was significantly decreased at 12 and 24 h after P- PDT compared with the control (P < 0.001). VEGF expression was significantly higher at 3 h after L- PDT compared with the control (P < 0.05), whereas it was significantly higher at many time points after P- PDT (3, 6, 48 and 72 h; P < 0.05 vs. control). CONCLUSIONS: L- PDT is a better approach for biliary cancer than the conventional P- PDT, based on its potent apoptotic and cytostatic effects.
