Molecular pathways in cancer response to photodynamic therapy

    https://doi.org/10.1142/S1088424619300064Cited by:15 (Source: Crossref)

    This minireview describes the complexity of the molecular mechanisms involved in the tumor response to photodynamic treatment (PDT). Different aspects of reactive oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen species (RNS) induced by PDT will be examined. In particular, we will discuss the effect of ROS and RNS on cell compartments and the main mechanisms of cell death induced by the treatment. Moreover, we will also examine host defense mechanisms as well as resistance to PDT.
