Analysis the Role of Oxygen, Light Intensity, Threshold Dose and Efficacy Improvement of Anti-Cancer via Type-II Photodynamic Therapy

Abstract: The role of oxygen, cell killing threshold dose and efficacy improvement of anti-cancer via type-II phototherapy are analyzed by both analytic formulas and numerical data. Higher initial photoinitiator (PS) concentration (C 0 ) and/or light intensity (I 0 ) has a faster efficacy, due to faster depletion of PS and oxygen concentration. Without the external oxygen supply, higher C 0 or I 0 produces more efficient singlet oxygen, resulting a higher transient efficacy, but they reach the same steady-state value wh… Show more

“…We have also presented the improvement of anti-cancer efficacy by synergistic effects of PDT and photothermal therapy (PTT) [16][17][18]. The role of concentration of PS and oxygen, rate constant, oxygen external source term, light dose, intensity and exposure time in the efficacy and threshold dose of anti-cancer was theorized [12] and a drug-light dose law was also analyzed for optimal PS concentration [13]. In this study, we will focus the measured profiles of the cell viability (measured in vitro) for various light intensities and PS concentrations, which will be analyzed by our developed formulas and numerical modeling.…”
