Fluorescence Diagnostics and Photodynamic Therapy In Cancer

Abstract

Recently, fluorescence diagnostics and photodynamic therapy (PDT) is increasingly gaining in popularity for clinical use. The purpose of this review was to describe the results of using laser and molecular techniques to develop targeted cancer therapy for improved drug delivery to cancer cells with regards to tissue visualization, single-cell localization, monitoring of treatment, and drug efficacy.

“…PDT has also been utilized in the treatment of tracheobronchial tree cancer, skin cancer, lung cancer, and esophageal cancer, according to various research publications from around 1982 to 1985. 3 , 105 …”

“…PDT has also been utilized in the treatment of tracheobronchial tree cancer, skin cancer, lung cancer, and esophageal cancer, according to various research publications from around 1982 to 1985. 3,105 According to Mitton and Ackroyd (2008), PDT became popular in the 1970s as a cancer therapy technique after it was recognized that porphyrins become localized in tumors. These are used to treat a variety of cancers, most notably choroidal neovascularization (CNV).…”
