Abstract
Malignant glioma is the adult brain tumor with the poorest prognosis, and its median overall survival is around one year. In the treatment of this disease, the surgical removal rate has the most significant influence on the prognosis, which means that adjuvant therapy such as radiation or chemotherapy has not exerted sufficient effect. Therefore it is indispensable to develop totally different ideas and methods. Among the new attempts, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been a unique presence.
