The aim of the study was to assess the efficiency of the method for registration of video fluorescence of 5-ALA-induced protoporphyrin IX in stomach and esophagus diseases, to adapt it for clinical conditions, i.e. for conducting differential diagnosis and detecting precancer conditions, and to formulate recommendations on the best photosensitizer doses and time of application in order to make the diagnostic procedure for these diseases more accurate. Materials and Methods. Registration of fluorescence for diagnostic purposes was performed on 57 patients with gastropathology (mainly with stomach cancer) with the help of single-channel (n=50) and dual-channel (n=7) laser video fluorescence registration systems. The study was performed using 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) (Alasens). 39 endoscopic, 18 intraoperative/laparoscopic investigations, and 7 studies on the macropreparation have been performed. Results. When both systems were used, no fluorescence was registered in cases of stomach ulcer, chronic gastritis, massive tumor necrosis and blood admixture in the stomach as well as in the patient with subcompensated stenosis and a stented output section of the stomach without serous membrane invasion and low 5-ALA concentration. In all other cases, a distinct fluorescence was recorded, the data of which may be used for establishing exact diagnosis and choosing further treatment tactics. Conclusion. Laser video fluorescence technique is a promising method for differential diagnosing and definition of the tumor extension process in the stomach and esophagus which can be used as an express method in diagnostically complex cases.
