Photophysical and Physiological Parameters Used in the Simulations

Symbol Value
kp/kot* 11.9 μM
kos/koa[A]a 90 M−1
[S0] (t = 0)b 2.67 μM
Intercapillary distance 130 μm
Capillary radius 5.5 μm
Capillary length 350 μm
Initial blood velocityc 300 μm second−1
Γmet 11 μM second−1

We used the value of kp/kot measured from photofrin-PDT in multicell tumor spheroids [15].

The value of Γmet was measured from multicell tumor spheroids (unpublished data).
