Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been widely used in recent years for the treatment of cancers. However the growing problem of drug resistance in bacteria has led to PDT being used to treat bacterial infections in a new type of therapy called Photodyna...

Development of synthetic routes towards bis (macrocyclic) compounds for imaging and therapy of cancer (2008)
Thesis

Porphyrin molecules are efficient generators of singlet oxygen and are used as photosensitisers in PDT. They are also known to accumulate in tumour tissue due to the hyperpermeability of tumour vasculature and poor lymphatic drainage, thus exhibiting...
