Adding Intratumoral Antibody-Photoabsorber Conjugate Improves Efficacy of Near-Infrared Photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT). [PDF]
Intravenous (IV) or intratumoral (IT) cetuximab distribution in A431 tumor (essence of Figure 2). ABSTRACT Near‐infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR‐PIT) is a new type of cancer treatment that specifically kills target cells while sparing normal tissue. This treatment induces cancer cell death by activating a photoreactive dye with near‐infrared light in ...
