Implications of photodynamic cancer therapy: an overview of PDT mechanisms basically and practically

Abstract Background Tumor eradication is one of the most important challengeable categories in oncological studies. In this account, besides the molecular genetics methods including cell therapy, gene therapy, immunotherapy, and general cancer therapy procedures like surgery, radiotherapy, and chemo...
