 Modulight Spotlights: LASER-SHARP RESEARCH – September 2024 University of Maryland and Modulight have published together a new research study about the mechanisms of cancer drug resistance. Drug resistance is a leading cause of treatment failure and often has dramatic consequences for survival of cancer patients. Cancer cells have developed various ways to protect themselves from drugs. When several clinically used photoactive drugs were studied, it was shown that some of them were being actively pumped out by cancer cells, thus likely limiting the full therapeutic potential Continue reading →

Deadliest cancer Precision with photoactivation Photoimmunotherapy with ML7710 offers a clinical therapeutic option for NSCLC patients even with advanced disease stage. Besides laser light, this therapy involves photoactivated drug, which can be activated precisely at the tumor site with laser fibers, hence minimizing drug effects to healthy tissues. Smaller invasiveness compared to surgery can enable patients to stay less time recovering at the hospital. It can also be repeated if needed multiple times without cumulating toxicities, unlike radiation therapy. Some previously inoperable tumors can decrease Continue reading →Deadliest cancer Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, with more than 2.2 million cases and 1.8 million deaths each year [1]. Lung cancer can be divided into two types, small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with the latter accounting for about 85% of all lung cancer cases. NSCL is usually less sensitive to chemo- and radiotherapy and in many cases tumor cannot be removed surgically or has spread from lungs to distant sites at the time Continue reading →
