Abstract
As the patients also received extensive chemotherapy regimes, the altered porphyrin metabolism may be affected by antineoplastic treatment generating oxygen reactive radicals. The alterations in porphyrin metabolism induced by chemotherapeutic agents appear to be demonstrated in rabbits in which doxorubicin increases porphyrin synthesis after porphyrin precursor treatment.
