METHOD FOR PREVENTING AND TREATING THE CASES OF METASTASES AFTER SURGICALLY REMOVING INTRAOCULAR NEOPLASMS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves intravenously administering 0.1-1% aqueous solution of khlorin, selected from group containing photolon, radachlorine or photoditazine at a dose of 0.2-0.5 mg/kg or 0.2-1% aqueous solution of porphyrin like photogem at a dose of 0.2-1 mg/kg. Laser irradiation of blood is carried out 5-15 min later after beginning photosensitizer injection into cubital vein of one arm via laser light guide set in advance in the cubital vein of the other arm during 10-40 min at wavelength of 661-666 nm and power of 20-50 mW one session per day during 3-10 days with the aqueous solution of khlorin used as the photosensitizer, or laser irradiation of blood with wavelength equal to 630-633 nm during 10-45 min with power of 20-50 mW one session per day with the aqueous solution of porphyrin used as the photosensitizer. Repeated intravenous administration of photosensitizer is carried out 1-3 months later combined with repeated laser irradiation of blood.

EFFECT: reduced risk of tumor cells dissemination and metastasis development.
