Background Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising new cancer treatment strategy which inactivates tumor cells by simultaneoulsy using light and a photosensitizer. The similarity between tumors and newly implanted embryos is notable. Extrauterine pregnancy (EUP) does not have a definite treatment and previous therapeutic options (medical and surgical) have not been effective or suitable. Ther...

متن کاملA facile strategy to generate polymeric nanoparticles for synergistic chemo-photodynamic therapy.
Synergistic therapy is a promising strategy for cancer treatment. A nanoparticle with chemo-photodynamic properties was fabricated via π-π stacking interactions between the drug and photosensitizer. It exhibited efficient anticancer activity both in vitro and in vivo.
متن کامل[Delivery of photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy].
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been used to treat several types of cancer, and comprises intravascular administration of photosensitizer, uptake by cancer cells, and followed by irradiation of light of appropriate wavelength. Although PDT takes advantage of relative retention of photosensitizer by cancer cells, effective delivery of photosensitizing drugs is of great concern. Several delivery s...

Background and Objective: Photodynamic therapy is a treatment that uses photosensitizer and intense visible light. When photosensitizers get exposed to a specific light wavelength (preferentially in the red region), they produce reactive oxygen species that are toxic to cells. Recently, attention has been focused on porphyrins and their analogs as photosensitizers. Zn (II) tetrapyridinoporphyra...
