(322) pH-dependent Zinc Ion and Photosensitizer Release Nanoparticles for Cancer Targeting Treatment
Introduction: Cancer-immunotherapy is a compelling anti-cancer strategy that complete and durable tumor elimination. And promising avenues for applying the inherent potential of the immune system in treating cancer. However, effects on solid tumors are limited and difficulty in that specific targeting is required to minimize side effects on normal cells and to provide effective cytotoxicity at the targeting site. To overcome those challenges, the combination with photodynamic therapy (PDT) that using photosensitizer has become a promising strategy to improve the therapeutic efficacy.
Learning Objectives:
Understand the prospectiveness and limitation of cancer immunotherpy.
Explain the photodynamic therapy and effect of photosensitezer when irradiated laser.
Utilize combination of metal ion and photosensitizer delivery for target specific cancer therapy.
