Possible future benefits from Next Generation PDT/PDT?
One potential application of an effective yet non-toxic therapy would be for prophylaxis or prevention of cancer at a pre-clinical stage before it becomes manifest in the individual. Agents selectively attach to small nests of tumor and with the application of whole body light; the result may well be the elimination or reduction of tumor. It will take additional time and clinical studies to explore fully the possibilities in this area but the implications of having a non toxic form of whole body treatment for incipient cancer is profound.
