Sorrin, Zoe Ylöniemi, Dana Roque, Tayyaba Hasan, Petteri Uusimaa, Huang-Chiao Huang Management of peritoneally metastatic cancer is a major clinical challenge. Peritoneal carcinomatosis is observed in 50% of colorectal cancer patients and >75% of ovarian cancer patients at the time of diagnosis. Selected patients based on age, comorbidities, and extent of the metastatic disease, will undergo complete cytoreductive surgery to remove the visible

Priming significantly improved the tumor accumulation of Cet-IR800 and diagnostic accuracy of tumor detection, as monitored with fluroescence imaging. Read the article here
Modulight Spotlights: LASER-SHARP RESEARCH – August 2021 Modulight would like to congratulate Dr. Sabrina Oliveira and members of the Molecular Targeted Therapies research group at Utrecht University on their recent work published in Nanophotonics journal. They have developed nanobody-targeted phototherapy for feline oral carcinoma with high potency and specificity towards oral cancer cells. This is an important step towards treating cats with oral cancers for which there are currently no effective therapeutic options available in the veterinary clinics. This type of research overall is critical

Grinwis, Alessia Di Maggio, Paul M.P. van Bergen en Henegouwen, Wim E. Hennink, Erik Teske, Jan W. Hesselink, Sebastiaan A. van Nimwegen, Jan A. Mol, Sabrina Oliveira Nanobody-targeted PDT was shown in vitro to be suitable and efficient for oral carcinoma, which expresses EGFR. Modulight laser was used as an illumination source to activate PDT. Next aim is to treat cats with oral carcinoma before advancing to human clinic. Read the article here

Kim Lyerly ML7710 was used for in vivo and ML8500 coupled to ML7710 for in vitro studies of HSP90-targeted verteporfin PDT for breast cancer. This strategy has both diagnostic and therapeutic potential across all breast cancer subtypes found up to few cm in depth, and may provide

Liang, Michael Pigula, Yan Baglo, Daniel Najafali , Tayyaba Hasan, Huang‑Chiao Huang The ML6600 laser was used to test the PDT efficacy of a novel photoimmunoconjugate-nanoliposome (PIC-Nal) comprising of EGFR-targeted Cetuximab, BPD photosensitizer and irinotecan chemoterapy inside a liposome. Different cancer cell lines were used and cell viability was determined after PDT. Read the article here
