In the past two decades there has been very significant progress in Photodynamic Therapy (PDT). These advancements have come mostly in the form of new concepts based on PDT and new technologies. Examples of concepts adapted from the PDT process are photochemical internalization, photoimmunotherapy, photodynamic priming, radiation-PDT and more. In terms of technology, examples include advanced imaging, biological models, nanotechnology and an emphasis on low-cost PDT.
This presentation will attempt to gather data from different labs to present updates on several of these aspects and put into perspective how these can be used to move the field forward. A discussive format is preferred and participation from the audience will be appreciated to the extent allowed by the allocated time.
