therapy
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), the treatment of disease with light and a light-activated therapeutic agent, has made strides towards a more general clinical acceptance over the past decade, but still has not reached the stage where it is recognized as a first line or primary treatment for solid subcutaneous cancerous tumors by most clinicians, including most surgeons and radiation oncologists. Until now.
the future
In a newly proposed extension of the Phase II contract, we will use Image-guided targeted two-photon photodynamic therapy (TTPDT) to develop a turn-key outpatient treatment for recurring refractory head and neck cancer that will replace current debilitating cancer treatments.
