Study Arms (2)

Chemotherapy alone

NO INTERVENTION

Group that be scheduled to undergo chemothrapy only using FOLFOX4 protocol.

PDT and Chemotherapy

EXPERIMENTAL

Group that not only be scheduled to undergo chemothrapy using FOLFOX4 protocol,but also receive colonscopy-assisted PDT.

Procedure: Photodynamic therapy

Interventions

Each patient to whom PDT was offered underwent a specific, detailed educational process by a dedicated team member(P.B., P.J., or K.E.), after which informed consent was obtained.Porfimer sodium (Photofrin; Axcan Pharma Inc, Quebec, Canada)was used as a photo sensitizing agent, administered intravenously at a dose of 2 mg/kg body weight 48 hours before illumination.A diode laser system (InGaAIP Laser Diode; Diomed Inc, An-dover, MA) with a maximum power output of 2000 mW and a wavelength of 633+-3 nm was used as a light source, delivered through a 3.0-m length fiber having a 2.5-cm-long cylindrical diffuser at its distal end (Pioneer Optics, Windsor Locks, CT).
