Abstract

After the pioneering work of photodynamic therapy of malignant tumors had been reported by Dr. Dougherty and his colleagues, applications of hematoporphyrin derivative for the diagnosis and treatment of human cancers has been reported by Professor Hayata et al. Chinese HpD was first made by Shi-Lin Xu, an engineer of Beijing Institute of Pharmaceutical Industry in 1980. The first patient to receive the PDT in China was a case of basal cell carcinoma of the lower eyelid, treated in 1981 by Dr. Ping Zhu a physician in Tong Ren Hospital in Beijing using a Chinese made laser. In 1982, research groups of PDT were established under the sponsorships of the State Science and Technology Commission of China, Beijing Commission for Science and Technology, etc. Physics, chemistry, preclinical and clinical research studies of PDT were then started widely.
