photodynamic therapy – a non-invasive treatment modality for precancerous lesions
introduction: oral premalignant lesions are conditions having high potential tendency for transformation into malignancy. the use of a conservative and effective treatment modality is one of the best strategies for cancer prevention. photodynamic therapy (pdt) is a non-invasive method for topical and selective treatment of oral precancerous lesions. the present study was taken up to determine t...
متن کاملPhotodynamic therapy: combined modality approaches targeting the tumor microenvironment.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Photodynamic therapy causes direct cytotoxicity to malignant cells within a tumor. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) can also have both direct and indirect effects upon various non-malignant components of the tumor microenvironment. This action can lead to PDT-mediated angiogenesis and inflammation, which are emerging as important determinants of PDT responsiveness. STUDY D...
متن کاملEpigenetic remodeling combined with photodynamic therapy elicits anticancer immune responses
Photodynamic therapy has been shown to induce strong immunity against tumor cells expressing exogenous tumor-associated antigens (TAAs), including P1A antigen. Cancer cells can evade the immune system by epigenetic silencing of TAAs, while DNA methyltransferase inhibitors, such as 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-aza-dC) can restore the expression of silenced or downregulated TAA. Thus, epigenetic rem...

متن کاملNanotechnology; its significance in cancer and photodynamic therapy
In the last decade, developments in nanotechnology have provided a new field in medicine called “Nanomedicine”. Nanomedicine has provided new tools for photodynamic therapy. Quantum dots (QDs) are approximately spherical nanoparticles that have attracted broad attention and have been used in nanomedicine applications. QDs have high molar extinction coefficients and photoluminescence quantum yie...
