Photodynamic Therapy in Cholangiocarcinoma [PDF]

Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, 2012
Most patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma have unresectable disease and require palliation with biliary stenting to alleviate symptoms. Although chemotherapy and radiotherapy have been ineffective, many studies have suggested that the use of photodynamic therapy (PDT) may improve quality of life and perhaps survival in these patients.

Nanocarrier‐Based Targeting of Pattern Recognition Receptors as an Innovative Strategy for Enhancing Sepsis Therapy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review highlights recent progress in nanocarriers targeting pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), including Toll‐like and NOD‐like receptors, for enhancing the treatment of bacterial sepsis and related complications. These nanomedicines deliver antibiotics and anti‐inflammatory agents while modulating immune responses.

Tumor Microenvironment‐responsive Nanocatalyst for Targeted Chemodynamic Cancer Therapy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
An Tumor microenvironment‐responsive nanocatalyst system composed of PLGA‐encapsulated Ca–Fe peroxide and polyarginine enables sustainable Fenton reaction in tumors. Low levels of H2O2 (50–100 µm) initiate the nanoparticle degradation, while polyarginine‐derived nitric oxide accelerates Fe3+ reduction, leading to self‐amplifying •OH generation for ...

The use of photodynamic therapy in the treatment of keratoacanthomas

Biomedical Photonics, 2016
The review is on treatment of keratoacanthomas using photodynamic therapy. The defining characteristic of keratoacanthoma among epithelial tumors is a rapid spontaneous regression in the case of typical keratoacanthoma and long-term persistence ...

Photodynamic therapy in the esophagus

Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy, 2004
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) involves in situ photo-activation of photosensitizers by light at appropriate wavelength, generating highly active singlet oxygen and free radicals. For esophageal mucosal dysplasia such as high-grade dysplasia or intramucosal cancer, curative endoluminal therapy including PDT is now a reality.

Antitumoral Efficacy of AuNRs‐Laden ECFCs In Vitro and In Vivo: Decoding the Heat and Rays Combo Treatment in Breast Cancer and Melanoma Cells

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Endothelial Colony Forming Cells (ECFCs) acted as cellular cyborgs, stealthily transporting gold nanorods (AuNRs) into tumors to enable targeted near‐infrared (NIR) hyperthermia combined with radiotherapy. This approach triggers ferroptosis in melanoma and inhibits autophagy in breast cancer, revealing a tumor‐specific response to nanomaterial‐assisted
