TL;DR: The photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a clinically approved, minimally invasive therapeutic procedure that can exert a selective cytotoxic activity toward malignant cells as discussed by the authors, which can prolong survival in patients with inoperable cancers and significantly improve quality of life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photodynamic therapy and anti-tumour immunity
TL;DR: Photodynamic therapy uses non-toxic photosensitizers and harmless visible light in combination with oxygen to produce cytotoxic reactive oxygen species that kill malignant cells by apoptosis and/or necrosis, shut down the tumour microvasculature and stimulate the host immune system.

Photodynamic therapy: a new antimicrobial approach to infectious disease?

TL;DR: All the available evidence suggests that multi-antibiotic resistant strains are as easily killed by PDT as naive strains, and that bacteria will not readily develop resistance to PDT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms in photodynamic therapy: part one—-photosensitizers, photochemistry and cellular localization
TL;DR: The most important factor governing the outcome of PDT is how the PS interacts with cells in the target tissue or tumor, and the key aspect of this interaction is the subcellular localization of the PS.
