BACKGROUND: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an established, minimally invasive
treatment for specific types of cancer. During PDT, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are …

Photo–triggered therapeutic modalities for cancer have attracted enormous attention in
recent years due to the easily focused and tuned properties of irradiation light that enable …

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays a pivotal role in the proliferation and
metastatization of cancer cells. Aberrancies in the expression and activation of EGFR are …

Photodynamic therapy is a photochemistry-based approach, approved for the treatment of
several malignant and non-malignant pathologies. It relies on the use of a non-toxic, light …

Rationale A substantial number of breast cancer patients with an overexpression of the
human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) have residual disease after neoadjuvant …

The value of PDT in specific well-selected head and neck cancer clinical scenarios is well
established. The basic research field is rapidly evolving and experimental findings are …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) combines a photosensitizer (PS) with the physical energy of
non-ionizing light to trigger cell death pathways. PDT has potential as a therapeutic modality …

Metastases remain the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Therefore,
improving the treatment efficacy against such tumors is essential to enhance patient survival …

Near-infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT) is a newly developed cancer treatment
modality based on a target-specific photosensitizer conjugate (TSPC) composed of an NIR …

Malignant tumors remain a high-risk disease with high mortality all over the world. Among all
the cancer treatments, surgery is the primary approach in the clinical treatment of tumors …
