Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an FDA-approved modality that rapidly eliminates local tumors, resulting in cure of early disease and palliation of advanced disease. PDT was originally considered to be a local treatment; however, both pre-clinical and clinical studies have shown that local PDT treatment of tumors can enhance systemic anti-tumor immunity. The current state of investigations into the ability of PDT to enhance anti-tumor immunity, the mechanisms behind this enhancement and the future of PDT as an immunotherapy are addressed in this review.
光动力疗法(PDT)是一种获得 FDA 批准的治疗方法,可迅速消除局部肿瘤,从而根治早期疾病并缓解晚期疾病。PDT 最初被认为是一种局部治疗方法;然而,临床前和临床研究都表明,局部 PDT 治疗肿瘤可以增强全身抗肿瘤免疫力。本文综述了 PDT 增强抗肿瘤免疫力的能力、增强作用背后的机制以及 PDT 作为免疫疗法的未来。
