Using Light to Kill Cancer: Development of a Novel Photodynamic Therapy [PDF]
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment that uses special drugs called photosensitizing agents along with light to kill cancer cells. The specialized drugs only work after they have been activated or turned on by light.

PHOTOSENSITIZERS AS RADIOSENSITIZING AGENTS IN EXPERIMENTAL AND CLINICAL NEUROONCOLOGY
The article summarizes the main mechanisms underlying the radiosensitizing effect of photosensitizers.According to literature data many authors consider the formation of reactive oxygen species to be the key element in the implementation of the antitumor effect of ionizing radiation, which transfers the photosensitizer molecule from the ground ...
