Both photodynamic (PDT) and photothermal (PTT) therapy have proven to be effective treatment strategies for cancer, but the approach of combining them into a single treatment modality may offer better treatment efficacy. We compare the treatment efficacy of such combined treatment with the individual treatment.
STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS: We perform the individual PDT, PTT and combined treatment under selected in vitro condition with our low light dose of 1.44 J/cm(2) and compare their cell viability using crystal fast violet assay.
Compared to PDT and PTT alone which can reduce cell viability to 30.9% and 44.0% respectively, the combined treatment under a single irradiation can further reduce the cell viability to 17.5%.
A combined PDT and PTT treatment appears to be a more effective treatment strategy compared to conventional PDT or emerging PTT treatment.
光动力疗法(PDT)和光热疗法(PTT)均已被证明是治疗癌症的有效策略,但将它们结合成单一治疗方式可能会提供更好的治疗效果。我们比较了这种联合治疗与单独治疗的疗效。
研究设计/材料与方法:我们在选定的体外条件下,使用1.44 J/cm²的低光剂量进行单独的光动力疗法、光热疗法及联合治疗,并使用结晶紫测定法比较它们的细胞活力。
与单独的光动力疗法和光热疗法相比,单独的光动力疗法可将细胞活力降低至30.9%,光热疗法可将细胞活力降低至44.0%,而单次照射下的联合治疗可进一步将细胞活力降低至17.5%。
与传统的光动力疗法或新兴的光热疗法相比,光动力疗法与光热疗法联合治疗似乎是一种更有效的治疗策略。
