Targeted Nanoparticles for Fluorescence Imaging of Folate Receptor Positive Tumors

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
This report presents the synthesis and folate receptor target-specificity of amino-functionalized polyacrylamide nanoparticles (AFPAA NPs) for near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging of cancer. For the synthesis of desired nano-constructs, the AFPAA NPs

Ablative Fractional Laser Enhances Artificial or Natural Daylight Photodynamic Therapy of Actinic Field Cancerization: A Randomized and Investigator-initiated Half-side Comparative Study

open access: yesActa Dermato-Venereologica, 2023
Artificial daylight photodynamic therapy is a near-painless treatment for actinic keratoses, which can be performed indoors using a controlled light dose. Daylight photodynamic therapy is approved only for treatment of grade I–II actinic keratoses.

Photodynamic Therapy [PDF]

open access: yesJNCI Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 1998
Photodynamic therapy involves administration of a tumor-localizing photosensitizing agent, which may require metabolic synthesis (i.e., a prodrug), followed by activation of the agent by light of a specific wavelength. This therapy results in a sequence of photochemical and photobiologic processes that cause irreversible photodamage to tumor tissues ...

Photodynamic Therapy for Treatment of Disease in Children—A Review of the Literature

open access: yesChildren, 2022
Photodynamic therapy is a mode of treatment whereby local irradiation of an administered photosensitizer with light of a specific wavelength generates cytotoxic reactive oxygen species. Despite the upward trend in the popularity of this method in adults,

Targeting immunogenic cancer cell death by photodynamic therapy: past, present and future

open access: yesJournal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, 2021
The past decade has witnessed major breakthroughs in cancer immunotherapy. This development has been largely motivated by cancer cell evasion of immunological control and consequent tumor resistance to conventional therapies. Immunogenic cell death (ICD)

Pulsed Dye Laser-mediated Photodynamic Therapy is Less Effective than Conventional Photodynamic Therapy for Actinic Field Cancerization: A Randomized Half-side Comparative Study

open access: yesActa Dermato-Venereologica, 2021
Previous research presents pulsed dye laser-mediated photodynamic therapy as a promising alternative to conventional red-light photodynamic therapy. In this study, 60 patients with 2 or more actinic keratoses randomly received either of these treatments ...

In Vivo Antitumoral Effects of Linseed Oil and Its Combination With Doxorubicin

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Linseed oil (LO) is known for its exceptional nutritional value due to the high content of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid; its anticarcinogenic effect has been established in several experimental and ...

Photodynamic Therapy—Current Limitations and Novel Approaches

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Photodynamic therapy [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 1999
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) of malignant tumours is a new technique for treating cancers. After intravenous injection, a photosensitiser is selectively retained by the tumour cells so after time there is more sensitiser in the tumour than in the normal adjacent tissue. The photosensitiser must be able to absorb the wavelength of light being delivered to
