Photodynamic Therapy—Current Limitations and Novel Approaches
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2021 Photodynamic therapy (PDT) mostly relies on the generation of singlet oxygen, via the excitation of a photosensitizer, so that target tumor cells can be destroyed. PDT can be applied in the settings of several malignant diseases.
