The aim of this study was to show the outcome of PDT of CC, potential side effects and to determine the best drug light interval (DLI) using mTHPC (Foscan({\textregistered})) at a low dose.METHODS: 13 patients with nonresectable CC were treated with stenting and PDT (3mg Foscan({\textregistered}) per treatment, 0.032-0.063 mg/kg body weight, 652 nm, 50 J/cm). Fluorescence measurements were performed with a single bare fiber for 5/13 patients prior to PDT at the tumor site to determine the fluorescence contrast.

Side effects such as perforations or skin phototoxicity could not be observed. Foscan({\textregistered}) fluorescence within the tumor site was clearly detectable but a significant fluorescence contrast of tumor to adjacent healthy tissue could not be found. The fluorescence kinetics measured in the oral mucosa showed a maximum at 3.85 days (median) after drug administration.CONCLUSION: Combined stenting and PDT performed with a low Foscan({\textregistered}) dose results in equal and potentially longer survival times compared to standard Photofrin({\textregistered}) PDT, while lowering the risk of side effects strongly.
