Study Summary

This phase II trial is studying how well EF5 works in detecting oxygen level and blood vessels in tumor cells of patients who are undergoing photodynamic therapy for intraperitoneal or pleural cancer. Diagnostic procedures using EF5 to detect oxygen level and blood vessels in tumor cells may help to improve the way photodynamic therapy is given

Primary Outcome

Exploratory techniques will be used to describe patterns of EF5 binding as well as MVD within and among patients.

Interventions

  • OTHER laboratory biomarker analysis
  • PROCEDURE therapeutic conventional surgery
  • DRUG etanidazole
