 Modulight Spotlights: LASER-SHARP RESEARCH – July 2024 Exciting new findings in prostate cancer research were reported by Xinning Wang and team at Case Western University, Comprehensive Cancer Center. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men and despite typically good prognosis, is a leading cause of cancer-related death. In the new study, the team combined chemotherapy with a novel light-activated, theranostic agent to enable targeted imaging and treatment of prostate cancer. Using ML7710 laser at 672 nm for activation of the drug, they were Continue reading →

Presented in: SPIE BIOS 2021 Authors: Zoe Ylöniemi, Johannes Kivelä, Elias Kokko, Robert Perttilä, Visa Kaivosoja, Lasse Orsila, Petteri Uusimaa    Presented in: SPIE BIOS 2021 Authors: Zoe Ylöniemi, Johannes Kivelä, Elias Kokko, Robert Perttilä, Visa Kaivosoja, Lasse Orsila, Petteri Uusimaa Fighting cancer involves more and more combination of modalities and drugs to maximize the long-term tumor resistance and cure. The rationale for combination therapy is to use treatment modalities or drug combinations that work by different mechanisms, decreasing the likelihood that resistant cancer cells will develop. The combination of light induced therapy like photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemotherapy has the potential to overcome the limitations traditionally associated with light-based therapies and Continue reading →
