Laser-Free Photosensitive Systems in Cancer Therapy: A Comprehensive Review

2025-01-03

Abstract excerpt

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) involves the use of photosensitizers (PSs) that, upon activation by specific wavelengths of light, generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), including singlet oxygen (¹O₂) and hydroxyl radicals (·OH), within the targeted tissue, typically tumor cells. The generated ROS induce cellular damage, disrupt cellular processes, and ultimately lead to apoptosis or necrosis of the tumor cells. Howev...
