Recent developments in photosensitization are discussed along with substances having a certain relevance in medical treatment. The mechanisms of protection and sensitization with ionizing radiation are dealt with in greater depth, particularly the “oxygen effect”; hypotheses for its interpretation are discussed. Radiosensitization by chemical agents, especially those with a possible clinical potential, will be discussed by end of the chapter.
