Endobronchial photodynamic therapy for lung cancer.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Endobronchial photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive technique for the palliation of major airway obstruction from lung cancer, and for the treatment of endobronchial microinvasive lung cancer. STUDY DESIGN Results of reported clinical trials were compared, and the author's preliminary results with second generation photosensitizers were also reviewed. R...
متن کاملPhotodynamic therapy (PDT)
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a comparatively novel therapeutic method involving a safe light source and a light-sensitive substance, termed as photosensitizers (PSs), such as methylene blue (MB), toluidine blue (TBO), sulfonated aluminum phthalocyanine, chlorine derivatives, nontoxic indocyanine green (ICG), and curcumin (CUR). (1) The combination of a nontoxic PS with low-intensity visible li...
متن کاملBiomedical applications of nano-titania in theranostics and photodynamic therapy.
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is one of the most abundantly used nanomaterials for human life. It is used in sunscreen, photovoltaic devices, biomedical applications and as a food additive and environmental scavenger. Nano-TiO2 in biomedical applications is well documented. It is used in endoprosthetic implants and early theranostics of neoplastic and non-neoplastic maladies as a photodynamic therape...
متن کاملTime-Resolved Fluorescence in Photodynamic Therapy
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been used clinically for treating various diseases including malignant tumors. The main advantages of PDT over traditional cancer treatments are attributed to the localized effects of the photochemical reactions by selective illumination, which then generate reactive oxygen species and singlet oxygen molecules that lead to cell death. To date, overor under-treatme...
متن کاملPhotodynamic Therapy and Simultaneous Fluorescence Imaging
In vivo biological application of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) prefers excitation of 700-850 nm, instead of 980 nm, due to the absorption of water. Recently approach in constructing robust Nd doped UCNPs subject to 808 nm excitation relies on a thick Nd sensitized shell. However, for the very 10 important and popular Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based applications, such as pho...
