Modulight Spotlights: LASER-SHARP RESEARCH – November 2022
This month’s Spotlight goes to Susumu Yamashita et al. for promising findings on novel light-based therapy for breast cancer treatment, published in a journal Cancer Medicine. Their teams at Olympus and Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology developed trastuzumab-conjugated photo-absorber (Tra-IR700) which targets HER2-positive breast cancer cells. This treatment strategy is particularly relevant, since HER2 biomarker is associated with poor survival of breast cancer patients and often has intrinsic or acquired resistance to standard trastuzumab therapy. Especially for these patients, Tra-IR700 activated with the ML7710 laser light might provide a new, next-generation treatment strategy.
Modulight is very happy to be supporting this research. We would like to deliver our warmest congratulations to the research team!
