- Abstract
Hexylaminolevulinate-mediated photodiagnosis of superficial bladder cancer recently gained marketing authorisation in Europe and is therefore being used increasingly, especially to visualise flat tumours such as carcinoma in situ. Although no significant adverse effects related to the drug have been reported to date, precise information with respect to the safety of this procedure in clinical practice has not yet been published. In the present study, we investigated the possible systemic absorption of different hexylaminolevulinate concentrations and characterised the adverse effects after bladder instillation.
