Modulight Spotlights: LASER-SHARP RESEARCH – September 2023
Head & neck cancer is world’s sixth most common cancer, with increasing incidence and poor survival. A new study by P. Enzian & R. Rahmanzadeh at University of Lübeck, studied combining chemotherapy with photochemical internalization for more effective H&N cancer treatment in vitro. Photochemical internalization using photosensitizer fimaporfin, activated with Modulight’s ML6600 laser, was shown to increase drug’s efficacy by means of better drug delivery inside the cells. As a result, tumor cell death was achieved using 20-fold smaller doses of chemotherapy.
Modulight is very happy to be supporting this research. We would like to deliver our warmest congratulations to the research team!
