Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT) are therapeutic
techniques based on a photosensitizer (PS) and light. These techniques allow the spatial …

In this Minireview, we highlight recent advances in the design of transition metal complexes
for photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT), and discuss the …

Platinum-based chemotherapeutic drugs such as cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin are
widely applied for the treatment of various types of tumours. Over the last few decades, a …

The fields of phototherapy and of inorganic chemotherapy both have long histories.
Inorganic photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT) offers both temporal and spatial control over …

Background: Cancer chemotherapy is limited by severe side effects due to unspecific
cytotoxic activity of currently used therapeutics. In order to minimize these unwanted effects …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an approved medical technique to treat certain forms of
cancer. It has been used to complement traditional anticancer modalities such as surgery …

Light, oxygen and photosensitizers (PSs) are the three separate elements that have been
applied in combination in the phototherapy of cancers in the past decades. Currently …

Photodynamic therapy is a light-activated medical technique, which has received increasing
attention within the last decade to treat various diseases including bacterial, viral or fungal …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) exploits light-activated compounds for therapeutic use. It relies
on a photosensitiser (PS) that is inactive in the absence of light. When irradiated, the PS …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) utilizes light-activated photosensitizers (PSs) to generate toxic
species for therapeutics. It has become an emerging solution for cancer treatment because …
