Abstract
Photodynamic diagnostics (PDD) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) are well-established medical technologies used for the diagnosis and treatment of malignant neoplasms. They rely on the use of photosensitizers, light and oxygen to visualize or eliminate cancer cells. This review demonstrates the recent advancements in these modalities with the use of nanotechnology, including quantum dots as innovative photosensitizers or energy donors, liposomes and micelles. Additionally, this literature review explores the combination of PDT with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and surgery for treating various neoplasms. The article also focuses on the latest achievements in PDD and PDT enhancements, which seem to be very promising in the field of oncology.

Abstract
Selective accumulation of a photosensitizer and the subsequent response in only the light-irradiated target are advantages of photodynamic diagnosis and therapy. The limited depth of the therapeutic effect is a positive characteristic when treating surface malignancies, such as peritoneal carcinomatosis. For photodynamic diagnosis (PDD), adjunctive use of aminolevulinic acid- protoporphyrin IX-guided fluorescence imaging detects cancer nodules, which would have been missed during assessment using white light visualization only. Furthermore, since few side effects have been reported, this has the potential to become a vital component of diagnostic laparoscopy. A variety of photosensitizers have been examined for photodynamic therapy (PDT), and treatment protocols are heterogeneous in terms of photosensitizer type and dose, photosensitizer-light time interval, and light source wavelength, dose, and dose rate. Although several studies have suggested that PDT has favorable effects in peritoneal carcinomatosis, clinical trials in more homogenous patient groups are required to identify the true benefits. In addition, major complications, such as bowel perforation and capillary leak syndrome, need to be reduced. In the long term, PDD and PDT are likely to be successful therapeutic options for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis, with several options to optimize the photosensitizer and light delivery parameters to improve safety and efficacy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND 5-Aminolaevulinic acid (5ALA) is a precursor of the strong sensitizer protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) in the heme synthesis pathway. We conducted aclinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 5ALA photodynamic therapy (PDT) using a light-emitting diode (LED) in patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). METHODS Data for 51 CIN patients who underwent 5ALA-PDT between 2012 and 2017 were prospectively analysed. After a 20 % 5ALA jelly formulation was topically applied to the cervix, the region was irradiated with red light at approximately 633 nm to excite PpIX for treatment. We estimated outcomes by cytology, pathology, and human papilloma virus (HPV) testing after PDT. RESULTS Patients underwent two PDT sessions at one-week intervals during outpatient treatment and achieved favourable results without photosensitivity and severe adverse events. Over a long follow-up period, 96.1 % of all patients showed some positive effects, including approximately 70 % with a complete response (CR), 10 % with a partial response, and 15 % with downgrades. The HPV clearance rate in patients with CR was 79.4 %. Recurrence occurred in five patients who mostly remained HPV-positive after PDT. CONCLUSIONS Based on our study, topical 5ALA-PDT using an LED light source potentially represents a safe treatment for CIN on an outpatient basis.

Abstract
Understanding the biology and progression mechanisms of peritoneal metastases in ovarian epithelial cancers (EOC) is important because peritoneal carcinomatosis is present or will occur during surveillance of a majority of patients. Despite the clinical remission achieved after complete macroscopic cytoreductive surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy, 60% of patients will develop peritoneal recurrence. This suggests that microscopic lesions, which are not eradicated by surgery may be present and may participate in the mechanisms leading to peritoneal recurrence. This paper discusses current available data on microscopic peritoneal metastases, their diagnosis and their treatment. We reviewed all publications dealing with microscopic peritoneal metastases of EOC between 1980 and 2017. The most recent and most relevant publications dealing with the treatment modalities of these metastases were selected. Peritoneal and epiploic microscopic localizations would occur in 1.2 to 15.1% of cases at early-stage and are not treated during conventional surgery. They could represent a potential therapeutic target. Local treatments (intraperitoneal chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, fluorescence-guided surgery) seem to be necessary in addition to surgery and chemotherapy and may help reduce the risk of peritoneal recurrence. The place of these treatments in the management of EOC remains to be defined by subsequent researches.

Abstract
Image-guided surgery is a relevant way to reduce surgical morbidity and maximize cytoreductive surgery approach especially in ovarian cancer. Sentinel lymph node detection is a promising approach to avoid radical lymph node dissection and is slightly becoming standard in daily practice in endometrial and cervical cancer surgery even if it needs to be evaluated more precisely. Regarding carcinomatosis of ovarian origin, detection and treatment of microscopic disease could be appropriate to avoid local recurrences. Photodiagnosis and photodynamic therapy are innovative techniques that allow to precise limits of excision (fluorescence-guided surgery) and to treat microscopic disease. Further developments of those strategies are necessary to become standard diagnosis tools and treatment options.

Abstract
High peritoneal recurrence rate in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer after complete macroscopic cytoreductive surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy, raises the issue of peritoneal microscopic disease management and requires the development of additional locoregional treatment strategies. Photodynamic therapy is an effective treatment already applied in other medical and surgical indications. After administration of a photosensitizer which accumulates in cancer cells, illumination with a light of adequate wavelength may induce photochemical reaction between photosensitizer and tissue oxygen which lead to reactive oxygen species production and cytotoxic phenomenon. Photodynamic therapy's ability to treat superficial lesions disseminated on large area makes it an excellent candidate to insure destruction of microscopic peritoneal metastases in addition to macroscopic cytoreductive surgery in order to decrease peritoneal recurrence rate. Development of intraperitoneal photodynamic therapy has been limited by its poor tolerance related to the lack of specificity of photosensitizers and the location of the metastases in proximity to adjacent intraperitoneal organs. Our aim is to review clinical data concerning intraperitoneal photodynamic therapy and epithelial ovarian cancer to identify the limits of this strategy and to provide solutions which may be applied to solve these barriers and enable safe and effective treatment. Targeted photosensitizers and innovative illumination solutions are mandatory to continue research in this field and to consider the feasibility of clinical trials.

Abstract
Understanding biology and progression mechanisms of peritoneal metastases of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a cornerstone in the knowledge and the comprehensive management of the disease. Despite clinical remission after the association of complete cytoreductive surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy, peritoneal recurrence still occurs in 60% of patients. Eligible studies, published from 1980 to June 2016, were retrieved through ClinicalTrials.gov, MEDLINE, Cochrane databases and bibliography searches. We reviewed all publications that deals with microscopic peritoneal metastases of EOC in French and English. To discuss expected benefits of intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy, fluorescence-guided surgery or IP photodynamic therapy, we reviewed most recent and relevant studies. The final reference list was generated on the basis of originality and relevance to the broad scope of this review. Published data concerning early-stage ovarian cancer suggest that occult peritoneal or epiploic metastases are present in 1.2%-15.1% of cases. In the frequent case of advanced-stage disease, residual microscopic lesions are ignored by conventional surgery. We are convinced that microscopic peritoneal metastases are a relevant surgical therapeutic target. This article discusses existing data on microscopic peritoneal metastases, the treatment indications, the diagnostic and therapeutic surgical approaches to be developed and their expected benefits. A local therapeutic strategy to target microscopic lesions is needed in addition to complete macroscopic cytoreductive surgery to decrease the rate of peritoneal recurrence. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy, and targeted photodynamic therapy could play a role in this new paradigm. The roles of these different options must be defined by future researches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peritoneal carcinomatosis is the dissemination of cancer in the peritoneal cavity secondary to abdominal or extra-abdominal malignancies. Accurate assessment of the disease's burden is a challenge because of the complexity of the peritoneal cavity and the small size of the metastatic nodules. Photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) is an emerging technology in tumor diagnosis. A photosensitizer is administered, which is preferentially taken up by cancer cells. The photosensitizer emits fluorescence when exposed to a light of a specific wavelength. This helps distinguish cancer from normal tissues. METHODS We systematically reviewed the evidence for using PDD in detecting peritoneal carcinomatosis in both animal and human literature. Both Medline and EMBASE databases were searched (November 2014). The titles and the abstracts of all retrieved citations were inspected, and the full articles of the relevant articles were obtained. RESULTS A total of 12 human and 18 animal studies were included. Clinical studies have shown PDD to be a safe modality with no significant adverse effects. It increases the detection of malignant peritoneal nodules by 21%-34% in comparison with white light alone. The sensitivity and specificity of PDD were reported at 83%-100% and 95%-100%, respectively. These findings were supported by multiple animal studies, which have shown an increase in the sensitivity of tumor detection when using PDD (72%-91%) in comparison with white light alone (39%). CONCLUSIONS PDD is a promising modality, which improves the detection of peritoneal carcinomatosis lesions. Further research, however, should investigate the impact of PDD on the patients' therapeutic management and final outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This experimental study aimed to compare three illumination schemes to optimize hexaminolaevulinate (HAL)-PDT in a rat tumor model with advanced ovarian cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Peritoneal carcinomatosis was induced by intraperitoneal 5×10(6)NuTu-19 cells injection in 60 female rats Fisher 344. Carcinomatosis was obtained 50 days post-tumor induction. Four hours post-intraperitoneal HAL (Photocure ASA, Oslo, Norway) injection, three different schemes of PDT were performed during 25 min on a 1cm(2) area. (A) Fractionated illumination (n=20) with an on-off cycle ("on": 2 min and "off": 1 min) at 30mW cm(-2) until a fluence of 30J cm(-2), (B) continuous illumination (n=20) at 30mW cm(-2) with a fluence of (45J cm(-2)C) continuous illumination (n=20) at 20mW cm(-2) with a fluence of 30J cm(-2). Laser light was generated using a 532nm KTP laser (Laser Quantum, Stockport, UK). Biopsies were taken 24h after treatment. Quantitative histology was performed. Necrosis value was determined: 0-no necrosis to 4-full necrosis. Depth of necrosis was then measured for each sample and correlated to Necrosis value. RESULTS HAL-PDT was efficient in producing necrosis irrespective of the scheme. Tumor destruction was superior with fractionated illumination compared to both continuous illumination schemes regarding to the depth of necrosis (213±113μm vs 154±133μm vs 171±155μm) (p<0.05) or to the full necrosis rate (50% vs 30% vs 10%) (p<0.0001). CONCLUSION Fractionated illumination during photodynamic therapy (PDT) was shown to improve tumor response. Fractionated illumination with short intervals should be considered for an effective PDT of advanced ovarian cancer.

Abstract
At present a wide range of photosensitizers are employed in photodynamic therapy (PDT) that have very different characteristics. Although, countless in vitro studies on the attributes of photosensitizers do exist, a direct comparison of these substances on one cell line are rare and may contribute to the choice of the optimal photoactive substance for a specific application. We therefore evaluated the properties of six widespread photosensitizers, namely Foscan, Fospeg, hypericin, aluminum (III) phthalocyanine tetrasulfonate chloride (AlPcS(4)), 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), and Photofrin in terms of: (i) cytotoxicity without illumination, (ii) phototoxicity, (iii) cellular uptake and release, and (iv) apoptosis induction in A431 human epidermoid carcinoma cells using comparable illumination regimens. We clearly show that meso-tetrahydroxyphenylchlorin (mTHPC, Foscan) is a very effective photosensitizer inducing high phototoxicity at very low concentrations. Similar in vitro characteristics and phototoxicity were observed for Fospeg, the water-soluble formulation of mTHPC. Hypericin, a photosensitizer extracted from plants of the Hypericum genus, is very effective in inducing apoptosis over a wide range of light fluences. AlPcS(4) absorbs light of 674 nm wavelength providing a higher penetration depth in tissue. Its hydrophilic character allows for application as aqueous solution. ALA can be administered at very high concentrations without producing cytotoxic effects in the dark. The intracellular concentration of protoporphyrin IX rapidly decreases after withdrawal of ALA, thus minimizing the period of light sensitivity post PDT. Among all photosensitizers Photofrin has most clinical approvals and serves as standard.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Accurate dosimetry was shown to be critical to achieve effective photodynamic therapy (PDT). This study aimed to assess the reliability of in vivo protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) fluorescence photobleaching as a predictive tool of the hexaminolevulinate PDT (HAL-PDT) response in a rat model of advanced ovarian cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Intraperitoneal 10(6) NuTu 19 cells were injected in 26 female rats Fisher 344. Peritoneal carcinomatosis was obtained 26 days post-tumor induction. Four hours post-intraperitoneal HAL (Photocure ASA, Oslo, Norway) injection, a laparoscopic procedure (D-light AutoFluorescence system, Karl Storz endoscope, Tuttlingen, Germany) and a fluorescence examination were made for 22 rats. The first group (LASER group, n=26) was illuminated with laser light using a 532 nm KTP laser (Laser Quantum, Stockport, UK) on 1 cm(2) surface at 45 J/cm(2). The second group (NO LASER group, n=26) served as controls. Biopsies were taken 24 hours after PDT. Semi-quantitative histology was performed and necrosis value was determined: 0--no necrosis to 4--full necrosis. Fluorescence was monitored before and after illumination on complete responders (NV=3-4; n=20) and non-responders (NV=0-2; n=6). RESULTS High PpIX photobleaching corresponded with complete responders whereas low photobleaching corresponded with non-responders (P<0.05). A direct linear correlation was shown between photobleaching and necrosis (R(2)=0.89). CONCLUSION In vivo PpIX fluorescence photobleaching is useful to predict the tissue response to HAL-PDT.
