The purpose of this review is to present the current state of the role of imaging in
photodynamic therapy (PDT). For the reader to fully appreciate the context of the discussions …

In recent years several review articles and books have been published on the use of
porphyrin-based compounds in photodynamic therapy (PDT). This critical review is focused …

Porphyrinic molecules have a unique theranostic role in disease therapy; they have been
used to image, detect and treat different forms of diseased tissue including age-related …

Increased cellular proliferation is an integral part of the cancer phenotype. Several in vitro
assays have been developed to measure the rate of tumor growth, but these require …

Ibrutinib (IBR), an irreversible Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, is expected to be a
potent therapeutic modality, given that BTK is overexpressed in tumor-associated …

Positron emission tomography (PET) allows noninvasive, quantitative studies of various
biologic processes in the tumor tissue. By using PET, investigators can study the …

Advances in technology have allowed extremely precise control of radiation dose delivery
and localization within a patient. The ability to confidently delineate target tumor boundaries …

Purpose: To evaluate the usefulness of 3′-deoxy-3′-[18F] fluorothymidine (FLT)-positron
emission tomography (PET) for predicting response and patient outcome of gefitinib therapy …

Positron emission tomography (PET) using the radiotracer 3′-deoxy-3′-[18F]
fluorothymidine (FLT) can image cellular proliferation in human cancers in vivo. FLT uptake …

Neutrophils are the most abundant white blood cells in humans. Many tumor-treatment
methods that are related to tissue infiltration and the activation of neutrophils have been …
