Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is used to treat cancer, and involves a highly conjugated
molecule, called a photosensitizer (PS), which is excited by wavelengths of light from visible …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a cancer treatment approach that uses a tumor-localizing
drug called photosensitizer; this, when activated by light of an appropriate wavelength …

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a technique that destroys oncogenic (cancerous) cells. It
has been used in several countries since the 1980's. Molecules that contain chromophores …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a cancer treatment involving systemic administration of a
tumor-localizing photosensitizer; this, when activated by the appropriate light wavelength …

Despite the advantages of photodynamic therapy (PDT) over chemotherapy or radiotherapy
such as low side effects, lack of treatment resistance and spatial selectivity inherent to light …

Recent researches in photodynamic therapy have focused on novel techniques to enhance
tumour targeting of anticancer drugs and photosensitizers. Coupling a photosensitizer with …

To attack cancer cells in a specific manner, we have developed a folate-targeted,
photodynamic therapy (PDT) agent. The folate (FA) and the chlorin e6 (Ce6) photosensitizer …

Hydrophilic photosensitizers (HP) are appropriate wavelength light susceptible molecules
that are essential for photodynamic therapy (PDT). The photosensitizers absorb photon …

Photodynamic therapy is an alternative to chemotherapy and radiotherapy for cancer
treatment. PDT is clinically applied to treat age-related macular degeneration and several …

This project investigates the use of folate for targeted delivery of photosensitizers to tumors
in photodynamic therapy. A photosensitizer, chlorin e6, produces toxic singlet oxygen …
