Core Tip 5-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is a naturally occurring amino acid that is a protoporphyrin IX precursor and a next-generation photosensitive substance. Fluorescence navigation by photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) using ALA is a potentially valuable diagnostic tool for gastric cancer for evaluating both the surgical resection margins and the extension of the lesion. Furthermore, PDD using ALA might be useful to detect peritoneal metastases during preoperative staging laparoscopy and evaluation of lymph node metastases. Photodynamic therapy using ALA to cause selective damage based on the accumulation of a photosensitizer in malignant tissue is expected to become a non-invasive endoscopic treatment for superficial early gastric cancer.
