Innovative anticancer therapies based on the activation of the immune system offer promise
in the battle against cancers resistant to traditional treatments. Examples of such therapeutic …

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

Photodynamic therapy is a promising approach for cancer treatment that relies on the
administration of a photosensitizer followed by tumor illumination. The generated oxidative …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising approach for treatment of cancer and bacterial
