Photodynamic therapy (PDT) was originally developed for the treatment of solid tumors by
the concerted action of a tumor-localizing agent, named as the photosensitizer, molecular …

The cytotoxic potential of photosensitisers has been known for more than half a century, but
it is only in the last decade or so that it has been studied in much greater depth and …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising approach for the treatment of superficially
localized tumors. This review starts with a summary of the basic principles of PDT, in which …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) represents an already well consolidated but still gradually
expanding approach to the treatment of solid tumors, which is based on the combined action …

Unlike these traditional treatments, photodynamic therapy (PDT) kills cancer cells
selectively, leaving healthy cells unharmed. PDT is based on the ability of some porphyrins …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is the treatment of malignant lesions with visible light following
systemic or local administration of a photosensitizer or its precursor. Initially …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a cancer treatment based on the accumulation in malignant
tissue of a photosensitiser with low systemic toxicity. Subsequent illumination induces a type …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a clinically approved, minimally invasive therapeutic
procedure that can exert a selective cytotoxic activity toward malignant cells. The procedure …

The photodynamic therapy of cancer (PDT) by porphyrins is now at a turning point with the
advent of phase III clinical trials. The transport of photofrin II and its delivery to tumor cells …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and fluorescence diagnosis (FD) are effective modalities for
treatment or detection of tumors and various other diseases. Both are based on the same …
