Pilotstudie zur photodynamischen Diagnostik der Endometriose mittels 5-Aminolävulinsäure
This pilot study investigated photodynamic diagnostics for endometriosis using 5-aminolevulinic acid, finding topical ALA had high complications, typical lesions did not fluoresce, but atypical peritoneal changes were detectable.

This pilot study evaluated the feasibility of using photodynamic diagnosis with 5-aminolevulinic acid to visualize atypical endometriotic lesions. Researchers administered the agent topically and orally to patients with known endometriosis prior to surgery, utilizing a specialized fluorescence system for detection. The results indicated that while typical dark implants did not fluoresce, atypical peritoneal changes could be identified, although topical application caused intolerable phototoxic side effects. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically investigating an experimental diagnostic technique for identifying atypical lesions.
