Photodynamic diagnostic (PDD) is an optical enhancement option for the endoscope to support the detection of cancer, for example in the bladder. In real application PDD efficiency suffers due to the complex accumulation of the photosensitizing drug inside the tumor and the associated processes of heme syntheses to create the fluorescent components...

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a potential option for treatment of cancer since it can be performed non- invasive for superficial cancers or minimal-invasive with low traumatization. But PDT is intrinsically inefficient due to the complex accumulation of the photosensitizing drug inside the tumor and the processes of heme syntheses to create the nee...
