A mathematical model of temperature modes in photodynamic 
therapy of brain tumors is suggested. Technological conditions for 
this therapy under which destruction of malignant cells along with 
photoprocesses are accompanied by hyperthermal and thermotherapeutic 
temperatures are determined. The realized possibilities allow one 
to achieve a higher degree of tumor destruction especially for low-perfusion 
tumors, with nearby healthy tissue being preserved.
