Emerging Advances in Nanomedicine for Targeted Cancer Photoimmunotherapy and Photo-Immunometabolic Therapy. [PDF]
Wiley Interdiscip Rev Nanomed NanobiotechnolSchematic representation of nanoparticle‐mediated photothermal therapy (PTT) inducing anti‐tumor immune responses. Nanoparticles are administered to a tumor‐bearing mouse and accumulate at the tumor site. Upon laser irradiation, the nanoparticles generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) within cancer cells, leading to cellular apoptosis.

The Therapeutic Potential of Photoimmunotherapy as a Safe, Effective and Non-Toxic Treatment Option for Superficial Triple Negative Breast Cancer. [PDF]
Cancer MedABSTRACT Triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive breast cancer subtype, lacking estrogen (ER), progesterone (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER‐2) expression. It disproportionately affects women of African descent and has a poor clinical prognosis attributed to its acute heterogeneity, thereby causing elevated ...

A novel strategy for treatment of bladder cancer: Antibody-drug conjugates [PDF]
Investigative and Clinical Urology, 2022 In the past, there was no second-line chemotherapeutic agent suitable for use when urothelial carcinoma (UC) progressed to platinum-resistant UC. However, recently, several new treatment options, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors or targeted therapy ...
