Hematoporphyrin phototherapy of cancer [PDF]

Radiotherapy and Oncology, 1986
Hematoporphyrin phototherapy of cancer is a new modality for cancer diagnosis and treatment that is currently undergoing clinical trials worldwide. A variety of tumors have been studied, e.g., breast (mostly recurrent skin), lung, bladder, eye, head and neck, gynecological and brain.

Interaction of Hematoporphyrin with Lipid Membranes

The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2012
Natural or synthetic porphyrins are being used as photosensitizers in photodiagnosis (PD) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) of malignancies and some other diseases. Understanding the interactions between porphyrins and cell membranes is therefore important to rationalize the uptake of photosensitizers and their passive transport through cell membranes. In

Reprogramming tumor immune microenvironment by ultrasound‐responsive nanoplatforms for enhanced cancer immunotherapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Ultrasound‐responsive nanoplatforms reprogram the tumor immune microenvironment by targeting tumor cells, immune cells, and non‐immune stromal cells to enhance the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy. Abstract Cancer immunotherapy represents a significant advancement in cancer treatment by enhancing the specific recognition and elimination of cancer cells.

Peptide‐directed nanovehicles enabling tumor‐selective ROS amplification and antitumor immunity

VIEW, EarlyView.
Cancer cells are vulnerable to oxidative stress, yet exploit immune tolerance to escape destruction. In contrast, their metabolic profile is markedly altered to support rapid proliferation, accompanied by elevated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

The effect of photodynamic therapy in head and neck cancer: A comprehensive review of in vivo models

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
This review evaluates Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) in in vivo head and neck cancer models. PDT effectively generates ROS, reducing tumor growth, cell proliferation and angiogenesis while enhancing survival and immune responses. However, methodological heterogeneity highlights the urgent need for standardized dosimetric protocols to ensure reproducibility

Theranostic Advancements in Brain Cancer: Promising Approaches for Emerging Therapy

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
Strategies for improving intra‐arterial administration (A) and photodynamic therapy in brain cancer (B). Improving intra‐arterial (IA) administration and photodynamic therapy (PDT) for brain cancer involves enhancing tumor targeting and breaching the blood–brain barrier (BBB). Key strategies include super selective catheterization, using osmotic agents

Nanotherapies for Atherosclerosis: Targeting, Catalysis, and Energy Transduction

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 20, 27 May 2026.
Atherosclerosis management is hindered by poor drug targeting and plaque heterogeneity. Nanotechnology overcomes these barriers via three core strategies: (1) target‐engineered nanocarriers that achieve lesion‐specific precision via ligand modification, biomimetic camouflage, stimuli‐responsive release, and self‐propelling nanomotors; (2) catalytic ...
