Tuning light to kill deep cancer tumors | 合法醫療器材資訊網

Research by Gang Han, PhD, shows that upconversion nanoparticles that can convert near-infrared light into red light can be used to extend photodynamic therapy for some cancers found in deeper tissues.

An international group of scientists led by Gang Han, PhD, has combined a new type of nanoparticle with an FDA-approved photodynamic therapy to effectively kill deep-set cancer cells in vivo with minimal damage to surrounding tissue and fewer side effects than chemotherapy. This promising new treatment strategy could expand the current use of photodynamic therapies to access deep-set cancer tumors.

“We are very excited at the potential for clinical practice using our enhanced red-emission nanoparticles combined with FDA-a...
