Cancer Nanotechnology: The impact of passive and active targeting in the era of modern cancer biology

TL;DR: The fundamental concepts of enhanced permeability and retention effect (EPR) are revisited and the mechanisms proposed to enhance preferential "retention" in the tumor, whether using active targeting of nanoparticles, binding of drugs to their tumoral targets or the presence of tumor associated macrophages are explored.
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.
