Photodynamic therapy and tumor imaging of hypericin-treated squamous cell carcinoma
BACKGROUND Conventional cancer therapy including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy often are physically debilitating and largely ineffective in previously treated patients with recurrent head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

Previously we have showed that hypericin exhibited potent photocytotoxic effects on Roman chicken cockscomb model of PWSs. However, the molecular mechanism of hypericin-m...

Introduction: Granular cell tumors (GCTs) are rare and mostly benign soft tissue tumors.
