Photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer works via direct cytotoxicity, causing damage to tumor vasculature and stimulating the body’s anti-tumor immune response. PDT outcome depends on the parameters used; therefore an in vivo tumor response monitoring system is useful for optimization of the treatment...
