Abstract
PDT-induced cell death, by either apoptosis or necrosis may vary with cell type or PDT dose. 5 cell types were treated with varying doses of aminolaevulinic acid-induced PDT and the type of cell death analysed. The mode of cell death was found to depend on both cell type and light dose. © 2001 Cancer Research Campaign www.bjcancer.com
