Gastric carcinoma in the dog: A clinicopathological study of 11 cases

TL;DR: From October 1984 to May 1987, advanced gastric carcinoma was diagnosed in 11 dogs at the University of Milan as eight of 11 tumours affected Belgian shepherd dogs and all these had neoplasms arising from the lesser curvature with prevailing histological features of mucin secreting tumours.

Photoradiation therapy. II. Cure of animal tumors with hematoporphyrin and light.

TL;DR: Exposure of mouse and rat tumors of various types to more than 600 nm light 24 or 48 hours after an injection of hematoporphyrin resulted in a substantial number of long-term cures.

On the preparation and properties of dihematoporphyrin ether, the tumor-localizing component of HPD.

TL;DR: A comparison of absorbance and fluorescence spectra in different solvents indicate that DHE aggregates are substantially more stable than are the analogous hematoporphyrin structures.
