Photodynamic Cancer Therapy: The Underlying Laser Characteristics

Abstract

Photodynamic therapy is a developing method for the treatment of a certain types of cancer. It is a serious contender to other known therapies. Detection and treatment of cancer can be done with photosensitizing substances and a light source. The ensuing simulations uncover some suitable parameters of the laser and the photosensitizing substance that would cure esophagus cancer.
